The Centurion

Adam Carter
First pics up of the build. It's already harder than I imagined

Mike K
That's quite the kit...lots of goodies.
Good luck.

Adam Carter
Luck is definitely needed! Thanks

Adam Carter
It was a gift from my sister in law, lucky random purchase! Only hope my painting skills are up to it

Barry Lloyd
Nice choice, it's on my wishlist - I hope it goes well.

Murad ÖZER
On my wish list too the IDF version tho, anyho i'll be following this one with great interest... 👍

Adam Carter
Thanks, I can see why people get into tank building. My planes all invole fiddly paint prep and little bits of building. So far this is just mashing bits of plastic together with instant results, great fun!

Ricardo Martins
Impressive tank... Following 🙂

Adam Carter
Rally surprised at how quick this goes together but just seen the next few steps in the instructions, I may be slowing down to say the least!

Adam Carter
More pics up, I can see myself getting quite into tanks!

Mike K
Coming together nicely. Looks like a nice kit. Tanks do have an appeal all their own. And IMHO they never look right without a healthy dose of weathering.

Adam Carter
thats the plan! Have read some articles about weathering as having only done aircraft up to now, ive never really done any. As usuall, any tips are greatly recieved!

Barry Lloyd
There's no rubber pads on Centurion tracks, so you just need to dry brush the parts that contact the ground with some aluminium paint.

Adam Carter
Cheers, I found a vid on YouTube of some Danish guy doing a build with really easy to follow weathering etc. very easy to follow but does have a techno sound track!

Murad ÖZER
pop an x, wear your sunglasses and keep your glowsticks nearby....!

Adam Carter
techno techno techno!!!!

Barry Lloyd
It should be heavy metal!

Adam Carter
Lol, seriously though, cos I'm a bit special I find it much easier to learn by watching someone. I've read all the articles on oil washes and weathering pigments, but actually seeing someone do it means it's much clearer in my mind now.

Adam Carter
Some more pics up, easily the most fun I've had in ages!

Hunter Cummins
This is amazing
You should do more of these tanks 😄
Got mine on the way because you inspired me to build it 😄

Hunter Cummins
Did yours have a resin figure in it???

Adam Carter
NO!!!! i feel cheated lol. Glad i inspired you to build one, I have to say i will be doing more and I'm really looking forward to the weathering process. I think the resin figure was with the first few produced or something like that

Hunter Cummins
Icant wait to see whats next 😄
If you want any weathering tips
Just pm me

Mine should because it said it did when I ordered it

Adam Carter
Thanks for your comments, it's great to see someone following the build, I often wonder if anyone looks! I'd love to see what the figure is like when you get yours mate

Clifford Keesler
Looking good. Someday I will get up the nerve to try and build some of my armor.

Hunter Cummins
Come on clifford
Use that new airbrush hahah
Its the same as an aircraft
Adam
Im sure they do I will post a picture or 5 for it lol
I will follow this with much interest

Adam Carter
I have to say Clifford this is my first ever armour build and it's great fun, give it a try!

B
I haven't built an armor kit,I just can't get into it. Aircraft are more fun to me

Adam Carter
Check my albums, all I do is aircraft! But this is fun!

Adam Carter
More pics up, main body of turret done and stuck myself to some mesh, as you do

Hunter Cummins
I am likimg this very much

Barry Lloyd
Looking good, I hope you've detached yourself from the stowage rack!

Adam Carter
No, still stuck

Murad ÖZER
NO? did you superglue your fingers together?? 😄

Martyn Fox
Looking good so far Adam. It's good to try something different.Ive built the Israeli Shot Cal version of this and it was quite a good build.

Adam Carter
More pics up now, turret finished! Just remembered I skipped the step of building all the wheels (cos I knew I'd paint them separately) so got that to look forward to now! Thanks for following the build everyone

B
Nice!! You don't have an airbrush right? So will this be brush painted?

Hunter Cummins
Adam
I am glad I found this
You inspired my to buy this kit

Hunter Cummins
In which ill have in 2 or 3 days 😄

Adam Carter
Yeah Brandon, no airbrush but I think I'll just rattle can spray it and then do all the weathering by hand with the details like shovels, paint chips etc. Go Hunter, so cool I inspired you to build this, surely that's what this site is best for!

Hunter Cummins
You know it 😄
I just hope mine comes with the resin figure

Hunter Cummins
The damn thing didnt
I will be calling amozon tommorrow
Very unhappy because my kit was suppose to have it

Adam Carter
Oh dear! Same problem here, get me one whilst you're at it!

Hunter Cummins
Ill try
Did you get your off of amozon??

Adam Carter
No, try not to buy online to keep my local model shop going tbh

Hunter Cummins
Thats very good
I dont buy online normally
But a 50 dollar usd model for 30 dollar usd
You cant beat it
But I buy my airbrushes, paint, weathering products and eerything else including kits at my lhs

Adam Carter
Thats great, model shops are a dying breed in this country, so i try and do my bit
