Challenger 2





Here's my Dragon Chally 2. I left off the dozer blade but I might attach it later. The commander is a HaT head with an original body, sculpted by yours truly. This was one of the best kits I've ever built in my life; everything fit just right. Also, it has excellent rubber tracks which are very easy to attach and yet appear to be link tracks. 

To paint this behemoth, I just sprayed it od green, then washed all over with black. I also used some of my homemade chalk pigments on the tracks, wheels, mudguards, and ERA. 

In the first picture, you might notice some grafitti... er... historical appreciation painted by a crewmember.

Winttrix Out!

    1. Just so you know Gowan, the Challenger is used by only the British and Oman armies. It might be more suitable if it is used by a British peacekeeping force. There's an idea for you!

  2. Neat model. I'd hate to have to face that on the field of battle. I like the bits of red glass effect on the turret hatch and sight.
