Finished model from my workbench

Rye Field Model 1/35th scale Challenger II TES
(Theatre Entry Standard). This is a modification to the standard British main battle tank to provide up armored body for better protection against IEDs and added belly armor and also explosive reactive armor alongside the turret and the sides of the fuselage. It also added a remotely operated weapon system for the loaders position not unlike the United States C.R.O.W.S.
Vehicle shown is"Megatron" of the Royal Armored Corps, Royal Wessex Yeomanry.

I don't understand the serial downvoter on the model-building threads.

Imma post my models one day, but I buy more kits than I actually build

I really like this one! I think it would look good in a small diorama.

The guys on Instagram I see making full on battle scenes with these are unreal.

I always wish I could give 5 upvotes on thesethreads just because they're so guileless and wholesome!

Fantastic work. How was the build? I’ve never built a Rye Field Model kit.
Also, the camo netting, is that gauze? I’ve thought about using that but haven’t tried it yet. Do you have to do anything other than painting it?

Thanks! Rye Field isn't for everyone. The fit and finish is fantastic. All of their kits are very high parts count. Some kits have lots of photo etch parts, of which I am not a fan. Some say they are over engineered and extra fiddly with the high parts counts for sub assemblies, but they are definitely challenging and not for the novice builder ( which I know you aren't.)
As for the camo netting yes it is just gauze that I airbrushed the three-tone NATO color scheme onto.
on. I then soaked it in water to make it a little less stiff and used white glue diluted with some water and placed it where I thought it should be from pictures.

So kinda like Dragon kits then. And I’m with you on the photo etch parts. I despise them, especially the ones you have to bend into shape.

Ah. The white glue (Elmer’s or something similar I’m guessing) is the key to getting the gauze to hold the desired shape. Makes sense. I’ll have to get some gauze and give it a try.
BTW, here is a preview of what i have on my desk right now….

How long did it take to assemble?
