British Armoured Car WWI

Villiers de Vos
A very interesting subject.

Start made and already found this kit is not for beginner. The detail is great but the parts small and need a little clean up here and there plus a few sink marks. The fitting of the engine parts are a little tricky but should get a nice engine once complete and you can cover it up if you make a mess 😆. I hope to have an engine panel open to show it off if I think I've done it worthy.
Trying a new technique on the seats that I've seen, using food wrap to give extra texture once painted, we'll see if it works.

Good luck.

Promising start on them wheels.

Villiers de Vos
The wheels build up nicely.

Bruce Huxtable
Watching with interest, Sy. The spoked wheels look great 👍 I'm curious about the seat enhancement you mention, and hoping to learn lots 🙂👍

Ethan Flory
Looking forward to this!

Lex Jassies
Nice to see the build of this Roden kit. Last year I build this one to (in fact I build 3 kits) The Roden wheels are so much better than the meng.
Don't you find the surface texture a bit rough? Luckely after painting it no longer stands out.
If you like you can take a look.

Thanks all for comments, hope I can keep up the work.
#Lex Jassies I'd already looked at your builds, although only spotted them after I'd started. If I can come close to your work I will be a very happy builder. I have spotted some strange textures especially on wooden bits so fingers crossed they work in the paint job.
On that point I think I've build too much of the engine and do made heavy going for the engine painting 😮 this is my usual trick of racing a head 🙂

Sy Bar
I seam to have stepped through the looking glass with this one, attempting load of extra bits none of which may work or even be visible in the end but it's all fhe fun of our hobby 😉

Lex Jassies
And that's what our hobby is all about, fun!! Well, at least most of the time anyway 😉

Michael Osadciw
Cool idea doing some of the scratch building while the parts are on the sprue. Nice!

Villiers de Vos
Your progress is steady and additions are very good.

Sy Bar
Thanks for the kind comments, #Osadciw leaving some bits on sprue means I have a little more chance of not loosing them 👍. Build has slowed due to normal life getting in the way 😄

Mr James
Great work so far. I admire your skill of making plastic look like wood.

Bruce Huxtable
Here here! I did a double-take 😉 Puccie 14 ,also has some lovely transformations.

Sy Bar
Appreciate the comments #James & #Bruce

Sy Bar
Slowly starting to bring parts together

Looks like a winner ...........

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Sy Bar
Cheers all
Coming along in dribs n drabs 🙄

Roger Trewenack
Really love your work on this Sy. I made the earlier Roden kit a few years back and added more detail when I fell in love with the motor, but with nowhere near the quality you have done.
This is a much more complex kit than the original Roden, and greatly improved by the look of it!!

Many thanks @Roger for you kind words I've enjoyed adding bits-n-pieces to this kit and could have done looking at your version for more reference material

Sy Bar
Calling this project complete. An enjoyable if at times tricky build

Guy Rump
Very impressive result! 👍

Rui S
Beautifully done 👍

Mr James
Well that turned out beautifully Sy Bar. The dusty effects are superb. Excellent work

Ethan Flory
Very nicely done!

Villiers de Vos
Very nicely done, especially the weathering.

Sy Bar
Wow thanks for all the kind words peeps. I know we all do this hobby for the enjoyment but it's a solo thing until you put your work on here and then you feel part of a bigger family 👍👍

Lex Jassies
Very nice result Sy! 👍 I really like the dusty look

Rui S
Well Said Sy Bar 👍

Simon Nagorsnik
👍👍Awesome!

Sy Bar
Cheers

Michael Kohl
Very well done. How about a figure?

Sy Bar
#Kohl I do figures at times (see my Kübelwagen Type 82 album - Kübelwagen Type 82 | Album by Sybar (1:35)) [hope the link is ok to post - is there a correct or best way to link to another SCM album/post?]

But have distinct lack of WWI figures let alone desert WWI figures. But thanks for the kind remarks
