Gary Howard
Outstanding

David Wallace
Thank you Gorby & Gary. I enjoyed these builds and I am starting a 3rd FV432 this weekend, I hope. I have an upgrade set from Accurate Armour to display a FV432 Mk1

Gary Howard
Cool, I have one for Christmas from my daughter, I was going to do a build centred around my military history but I am just going to build it OOB now I think. Hope it comes to a similar standard to yours (or anywhere near) not that I am using any aftermarket kits either, I have just completed an AA Ferret and am doing a Challenger ARRV from AA as well

David Wallace
Great Gary. They are getting very hard to get at the moment. They don't seem to be available anywhere in the UK, Ireland or western Europe. The new one I have I purchased in the Ukraine through this site. I do intend to build one OOB also but this is a little project i'm on. My dad is in his late 70's and still with us. He was in the British Army during the 60's & 70's and attached to 6th Armour. He commanded several of these "Wagons" as he calls them. I am trying to make the ones he has told me about. What regiment were you in? Are you Builds on here to have a look at?

Gary Howard
Yes I only started again in lockdown 1 and I was originally in Grenadiers Guards then the Royal Military Police. But the stress fo the dioramas is pushing me to just build oob and enjoy instead

David Wallace
Yes, Dioramas can be a pain and it is easy to get bored and leave it aside for a while.
I have build a few aircraft for competitions and that can also be stressful. My wife says its a hobby and should be enjoyable!

Gary Howard
She is wise that's for sure

Grumbledier Guard
Nice job David

David Wallace
Thank you

How did the AA conversion go David.

David Wallace
Great! They give you a new Hull roof to fit as the mortar opening would be to big. It is meant to be displayed with the turret hatches closed. I drill them out which was a little pain. But as I wanted to display figures it need done. It's AA's conversion on the Mortar carriage 432 I did also and I'm about to start their Ambulance conversion on number 3, no 4 will have the scorpion miniatures Mk1 conversion kit.
