LAV C2 1/35 ESCI- Completed 12-09, many pics

Stick, looking very nice. Love all the stowage and the figures are excellent. Can't wait to see it with dirt!!

Rounds Complete!!

The LAV C2 and the figures are looking great.  The LAV needs some weathering though.  It looks way too clean.  I like the cooler and other stowage on it too.  Great job so far.

My LAV is almost ready for weathering. Lately I havebeen working on the crew figures. Here is how they are looking as of this evening (along with some WWII French crew for another AFV build). 

Simple basic painting. A wash of black in the grill, then topped of with the Sand dry brush. I still need to dry brush the edging areas where the frame meets the grill. But thank you. I think your Bradley is looking pretty kicka$$ myself.

Carlos,

How did you do the intake / exhaust grates?!  I really like the look and want to replicate them on my Bradley!

The crew figures so far...

and where they will go...

Thank you sir! And now that I think about it, I have to say the same thing.I can not recall ever seeing one built either...

Well as of today all stowage is attached and also the UHF antenna.(the black thing next to the orange ice chest on the top deck) Still working on those Verlinden crew figures. I also need to come up with the FM and HF antennas.

Nicely done, I do not believe I've ever seen one of those completed since they came out in the late 80s.

Well I have no idea what happened to the WIP thread for this LAV so...I will show the latest progress here.

Right now I am concentrating on finishing up partial builds that are near completion. This one is pretty close to being done I think. I just need to add a bit more stowage (a couple duffle bags and some rucks), the commanders M240 MG and some antennas. Finish the crew figures and add them... Then it will be time for weathering and done!

Thanks Mike! i do really apprecaite it! Take a look here for further updates. This thread is carrying the WIP pics. I will post finished ones here once all completed, for those who dont frequennt the GB threads.

OK, here is the completed rear end. I also ended up scratchbuilding some new water can racks since the kit only comes with one but needs three. Pioneer tools are courtesy of an Academy accsory set. Placement is part based of the stencils you can read in the pics and part SWAG.

Thanks again for the help Mike! Much appreciated!

Let me also add that Andrew said while in combat these hatches are rarely locked all the way in that down position.

BTW Nice work there with those doors!

Cool!

Glad I could help my friend. 

I did a little editing right before I saw your post so that link is gone now as I combined it into one post.

Carlos,

Andrew just called me and said that the handles on the back door (right door) are almost in the 6 O' clock position when fully locked but that they are slightly towards the 5 O' clock position as shown by the bottom one in this photo:

It looks like it is straight down in the picture but Andrew says it is not completely straight as I said. He said all the LAV's are the same on these back doors.
