Those are some really smooth mods! Sure looks like they belong!

Whilst the Chieftain is indeed a new kit, the Challenger rear deck comes from my stash of old built/almost built models. Even then, the whole thing is being done as a commission (along with the Centurion Tiger) so my wallet is safe-ish.

Thanks mate. It looks more natural now that it has its undercoat applied. More pics to come soon.

The melding of this really is working.
As they were alleged to have said once or twice.

The Chieftain was a great battlefield tank, providing it broke down in exactly the right spot.

Cambodian Centurion (Tiger) & Chieftain (King Tiger) Update:

The two Cambodian Big Cats looking resplendent in their undercoats...

In a way, I always think this is the best part of the building process as it is the first time that the finished model starts to shine through.

With undercoat the details show well.  Find it interesting to browse pictures, taking in details and differences between tanks.  Great builds.  :)
Nice as final paint and weathering is, some details is lost.

Thanks chaps. I will have my work cut out for me as I intend to go with a MERDC type scheme for the Chieftain (King Tiger).  :icon_beer:

Such wonderful builds Claymore and the undercoat really brings out the kit details. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Wow those are some real armored marvels!

I really like that primer look. I'd be tempted just to add blotches of some earth tone for camo, but I'm sure what you've got in mind for these beasts will be a treat!

Cambodian Centurion (Tiger) Update:

Blimey but this has been a long time coming...

I have spent the last 3 days, more or less, solidly on painting LRB's Cambodian Centurion (Tiger) and varnishing the display stand (7 coats).  Although I say it myself, she is looking mighty fine although there are still oil stains to be added and some more weathering before I will be happy that she is finished and ready for shipping.

In the meantime, I hope these pics will give you a feel for the end product...

That is one awesome Centurion! It looks so plausible that you could probably put it on a table at a model show and all but the most devoted treadheads would just assume it was based on a real world prototype.

Well, this is where I am going with this idea (from the current Group Build)... F1 tank racing!  Full back-story in due course, of course...  ;)
