Hello all,
It has been al long ago since i've build an AFV.
Due to my illnes modelling has become hard work for me.
It is simply almost impossible for me to sit down longer than 30 minutes.
I hurt my spine the last summer in such a severe way that recovery wil take longer than i expected.
Never the less i wanted to build an AFV.
what you see took me over a year to build.
It is not finished yet but i will try to get it ready before the start of the first exhibition in April.
The AFv is an old Revell Model, the figures are Legend and the wall is a Mini Art model.
The tree and road section are scratch build.
As i said it is not ready yet there has be done some things more.
I want to place some bushes behind te lower wall sections, also the lanterns need more work. Also i want to add some road signs.
On the AFV i have to add some more extra's but i have to scratch those things.
i hope you like te result so far
greetings
Eric

HAHAHAHAAA....
Great!
After four minutes I've finally found where the AFV on these pictures is
Idea of these babes in AFV is fantastic and I like what you've done with the painting, but what hit me most is the tree - I REALLY love it. One of the niciest I've seen so far.
I'll be following this one.

...its armament is six 38D and one 3" caliber guns. I think the best tactic to defeat this monster would be to approach it from behind and slap a sticky bomb on its rear end..

I am sure with a crew like that this will be a very popular diorama, very eye catching.

Nice one Eric! Definitely a head turner! Wonder what the 'enemy' would do??? If there even was an enemy?

Unorthodox ammo racks. Someone keeps telling me that there is an AFV in those pics. This one made me giggle for some time. Thank you, I needed that.

I don't think that Sikkema should answer that. There are young and impressionable minds among us.

First of, nice work so far Eric, and that is one hell of a tree you have there. How did you make that?
Secondly, I have moved this thread to the spare parts forum, because we have a 'no nudity' rule on Armorama. I know that you can see breast at every corner nowadays, but it is only a small step from an exposed breast, to full frontal Vampires... We have been there, and don't want to go there again . As the pictures are not overtly explicit I see no reason to delete this thread, but it does not belong in an 'open' forum.
So, any change of some close-up pictures? (Of the tree, stop sniggering at the back... )
