ElCapitan's 1/35 AFV Club Scimitar

Post by ElCapitan »

First to finish :jd:

So here we have my completed Scimitar, as used by the UN peace-keeping forces during the Bosnian War. The build thread is at viewtopic.php?f=751&t=29963

Haven't a clue why the photo colouration is different on the last image - very strange.

Anyway, thanks to those who followed the build - it was fun to build something all in one colour following my recent builds which mostly involved camouflage!

Wow :jd: Incredible finish. That rust stands out pretty nice over clear tone.

Well done!

Nice job on weathering the white finish. The last image could be a misread white-balance (colour cast from a flouro light)
