REVEAL 1:35 AFV Club Churchill AVRE

Post by fly1ngdutchm4n »

Hello guys, and welcome to the reveal of my second and main entry in this GB :D
I had a lot of fun building this AFV club kit, and to be honest, glad to be finished with it... :mrgreen:
As I have said on my thread, I was planning for the Churchill to crush a tree or something to show of the workable suspension, but this is a tight base with a Churchill making his own path. Adding a tree would take the attention of the model, and the base would become too crowded. Sometimes you have to say to yourself, enough is enough :thumb1:

I'm going to show you the reveal pics, some were taken inside, some outside.
And as a finishing touch, a slide show of the full wip of this build. his video is also on my YouTube channel.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the reveal, as I have enjoyed putting it together. :pop:

Awesome finish Frans! Looks fantastic. I think you made the right choice regarding the tree. Sometimes less is more.

Hi Frans.

I think most superlatives have been used up in describing your build so I can't come up with any new ones.

Great stuff. Needs to be in a 'How to Build' book.

Congratulations on a stunner.

:cheers2:
