Armorpax's Armortek UC - No.18

[Dave Dibb (Armorpax)]

Hi All,

My Christmas has come early and for all those crying out for photos I decided to open the box tonight even though I told Kian I wasn't going to

Playing a game of metal parts lucky dip much to the annoyance of my other half who is trying to watch casualty while I keep rustling through the packing chips

Best regards

Dave

[John Clarke]

That's just cruel on both accounts Dave.
Get rid of the flavorless wotsits and show us the bits

[Graham P Hough]

Cruel cruel cruel, more bits, more bits mor.......

[Dave Dibb (Armorpax)]

here you go then, some of the bits

[John Clarke]

I'm sensing an streak

[Stephen White]

Reminds me of a bar in the Rocks, Sydney, just after Vietnam, when the first veil never came off, let alone all seven. There was a riot.......

Hi Dave, i will be looking forward to your build, knowing what your capable of on the level of detail and finish, this will be a masterclass of u.c. building, regards simon.

[Jerry Carducci]

In light of all the insightful comments all I can come up with is what color scheme and which paint are you going to use?

Jerry

[John Wiggins]

.....never mind the colour......what version are you going to build?
Can’t wait to see your magic come to life.

[Dave Dibb (Armorpax)]

I have no idea what you mean John

Here is something a little more revealing...………………………

Jerry, rust, resin and white metal for while I would think

Best regards

Dave

[Dave Dibb (Armorpax)]

In answer to John's question...…………...

[Graham P Hough]

Oooooooh - nice

[John Wiggins]

Dave, will you, or are they included in the Armortek kit, be providing the fastenings for the deep wading kit. They were on all the Mk2’s even if they didn’t use the extra panels for deep wading?

Best
John

[John Clarke]

Nice one Dave, thanks for opening it up, with my sweaty paws I'd have to be wearing gloves.
I'm certainly aiming for a BEF dressed carrier when time allows

[Dave Dibb (Armorpax)]

..............and so it begins, there is something very therapeutic about sitting down on a winters evening with a huge bolt together kit Reminds me of days decades ago when my Grandfather, a very talented tin plate railway modeller, got me into all this. The only thing I had when there was a huge load of meccano and with their neighbours son we made suitable creations to suit what we wanted to play. I cannot remember ever being bored

So, unlike some of the other builds mine will be focused on getting the body together asap so I can make new bits for it then sort the rest out later.

Best regards

Dave
