Re: Empress Modern Battlegroup Project - T90A turret update

Great posting, please Keep us all informed!

And I can only second the request for a casting of these beauties!!!
We need these too. ;)

Thanks Agis, appreciate you looking in :)


And a little more progress on the Bradley ...... the new 3D printed aircon units are on and after adding a few handles and the rear deck periscopes it pretty much only needs the fans fitting before the paint can go on.





And a lot of progress on the T90A conversion which is also now basically ready for paint. Pretty pleased with how it's progressed TBH as its now beginning to look like a T90.  Maybe another half days work or so should see the undercoat going on .....

Oh my these are just too "Sexy"!!!  :o :o :o :)

I really like the look of todays totally over equipped AFVs.
And your T90 is a prime example!

Thanks matey,  the trick will be getting the other two to look the same ....

And megalomania has set in, decided to have a crack at a couple of more advanced builds after the base tanks are completed, a Buran 8x8 APC, BMP-T Terminator (using the Empress T90 as a base) and a T90MS (again using the Empress T90).

Empress Modern Battlegroup Project - first batch primed
« Reply #34 on: 07 September 2016, 06:16:46 AM »
Worked up the two BMPs (must really get a third which will probably get converted into a BMP3M) and cleaned up everything for priming. After that its some QC and then it'll be flicking some paint on proper like ....

cheers
Brent


Final detailing, well not quite final as there's some stuff that won't be added until painting is almost finished.







And after priming with Tamiya rattlecan enamel .... the rest of the painting will be GW acrylics.

Thanks Richard :)

And base paint on. Nothing too tricky yet, lining and shading to come next ..... too late and dark to take pics of the BMPs but they are at the same stage.

cheers
Brent

I’m not familiar with modern AFVs but what are the "fans" at the rear of the Bradley for?

Anyhow, that's some very nice work!!! 8)
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://tistaminis.com/

Thanks and they're add on HVAC Air-conditioning units. In typical US fashion they're .... big, made by a company called Victory Climate Systems.
