I will like it I’m sure, but as it’s not New Zealand armour, I might like it a bit less !!
Mr C got it in one !! But like mixing up Canadians with Californians

Hi,

Here is the finished V-150 Commando. Tomorrow, i will post a video of the model in action and some exterior shots. I gave it a tiger stripe camo, representing it somewhere in Africa where this armored vehicle was sold to numerous countries.

Watched this since day one, end result, a model showing true model making skills, very well done indeed.

I’m not sure if it’s the shape of the vehicle, but this cam job is the most effective and interesting out of all.
It could be that most modern AFVs are a plain colour, and WW2 versions are so very familiar.
Not sure about others, but the “ink blot” test I see has Snoopy on the right side

Hi,

And here is a YouTube video of the V150 in action and some exterior shots.

Canadian weather on a late November cloudy day is not that great for an African style photo shoot, but still better than basement and ok for a walk around.
