Challenger 2

[HERMAN BIX]

Brilliant work.
Do you have a handy pic of a real one mate ?

Your add on armor is looking good.

What did you use to make the lower "shirt" from?

Hello, thanks for the comments @Herman Bix, This is the real model

@Barry C The material used here in Spain is called Goma Eva, I think in English it is 3mm thick foamy
I put the advances today, almost finished the front protection


The headlights are not yet fixed by that in the pictures you see that they are not aligned,I'm going to cut the LEDs so they do not look that bad



To say that the front protection has 69 pieces of plastic made and there are still two, where are the pencil points are the simulated rivets that will be brass, I still have to caulk a bit the front and be ready, a greeting

Hello, the other side is already taking shape, a greeting

Neat and meticulous handiwork! Whatever you call the material (looks like styrene to me)- you have considerable mastery of it! Following with interest, as I've had a Challenger 2 sitting around for over two years, waiting for weathering and decals...

[toniolillo]

Thank you all, I'll give you more progress

I have taken advantage of the panels of my old toy Abrams

Much work remains, but it is taking shape

[toniolillo]

I put new advances, greetings




The escapes are operational and detachable

Excellent work. I like every single progress of it. Keep em coming!!

Hello, I have already finished the upper part of the frontal armor, a greeting and thanks
