Hi Chaps,
Finally managed to do a bit more on the old Bulldog.
The rear twin fire extinguishers finished off and mounted into their brackets and fitted to the upper part of rear troop door just above the door window ( masking tape to be removed after the model is varnished ).
Also sewn up the 30mm Rarden cannon recoil canvas dust cover, and fitted over the barrel, just the end to tighten up where it meets the metal barrel to make it neater, barrel also painted matt black.
Photos of the above plus one overall shot of where it stands today, think its starting to look ok and coming together now.
Regards.

Hi.
Update of the build so far.
Today was an excellent spraying day so took advantage of the conditions and gave the whole model 4 cotes of some Satin varnish that i mixed up, 2 parts gloss to 1 part matt thinned at about 2 to 1.
Whilst this was left to dry and harden i set about finishing off the headlight assemblies, i made a lense and outer bezel and fitted them to the headlights, this now gives a sunken lense effect where the outer bezel protrudes past the headlight glass, just need to fill the small joins before painting... a few pics..

It almost looks like a Mars Rover !
Hell of a job you've done mate, will look right at home escorting a Chally

Excellent!

She's a beauty...

A one of a kind build The British Challenger tanks have a new urban camo just like that, interesting design.

Hi chaps,
Many thx for you continued interest and kind comments, starting the home stretch now, just the headlights etc and fine tuning of the rc system to do then go and try it out, then i can continue more with the XM800T, and er something else i started
