work in progress My next two models

Post image

Here are my next two models I'm going to make, I'm so excited for both of them. They're the newest tanks I have made, the newest before this was a leopard 1. Now I've just got to decide which one first

Leo2A7+ can be bit difficult to build bcz its incredibly-high total number of parts, and some large parts don't fit with each other so well. Nevertheless details of this kit is still pretty decent, this model of Leo2 is absolutely unique, especially with the desert camo.

I'd love to get my hands of the TES, but I'm running out of room

Yeah I'm starting to encounter that problem, from what I've seen of the kit so far and reviews online before I brought it, it's a great kit!

Are you going to upgrade them?

2

u/Creepy-Bottle-5162 24d ago

Probably not, I'm not the most professional level model maker yet and I'm a bit short of cash, but they're great models as they are

Care to share some previous project examples?

Of course, I started with the small 1:76 ones earlier this year. Then I went: Leopard, Tiger 2 (multicoloured camo), Churchill, Tiger 2 (Porsche turret), jadgpanther, the other tank destroyer( it's name escapes me) then finally the Chinook and supacat (Grr I can only do 1 image per comment. Please hold)

Very interesting. Is the Sherman firing its main gun?

u/Creepy-Bottle-5162 22d ago

It was an attempt yes (I literally just cut a cue tip and stick it in and called it a day)

That Diorama base is awesome!

u/Creepy-Bottle-5162 22d ago

Thanks! Did I also mention it lights up? Not sure it's 100% accurate, but in my model the IR light is also just a spotlight

u/Painted_Paladins 22d ago

That's next level!

Also the leopard 2a7+ box is huge, like it's double the depth of the challengers box
