It's been a battle especially with the suspension, it keeps falling apart but I've got the paint and decals on.

Markings are out of my spare decal box so not 100% accurate but close enough. Just giving them time to dry and I can start weathering.

Looks great and it's something straight out of 80s sci-fi to my pop-culturally contaminated mind and that only makes it better! :mrgreen:

Stolly went for a mud bath today :D

I used Lifecolor paints and pigments mixed with plaster of paris for the mud.

It's a fabulous looking machine - nice work with the mud Chris - it really works :D :D

Fine, fine work

Are the body colours Lifecolor?

(I'm thinking ahead for the Chieftain ;) )

Nice looking vehicle Chris. At first I thought it was a Terrapin you built.
Am I wrong assuming it shares the drivetrain with the Saladin ?

Raoul and Philipp,

I think Stalwarts might have been used in some SciFi films over the years ;)

Rob,

Thanks :D The base colour is Vallejo Cam Dark Green with Lifecolor Panzer Grey to give a faded black.

Olivier,

the engine, gearbox and suspension is common to Saladin, Saracen and Stalwart.
