Centurion " It’s not just a British thing". This is a simple build for rules , any Centurion as long as it does not have British markings. All Commonwealth countries allowed.
Kit can be new - unopened or partial or fully built - as long as it is not in British homeland markings.
Prototype and drawing board variants are acceptable.
Also yes for the figure people a Roman Centurion is ok.
Initial picture of kit as it is, either in the box or what it looks like now if its built.
Lots of progress pics during the build and paint phase.
Do as many kits as you like.
Dio bases are welcome but not essential.
Scratch build is encouraged but not necessary…Make it unique… Have fun.
Start date is August 1st 2021 until August 1st 2022. That is a year and a day .
If you are planning to join please say so .
Thanks for jumping in guys … This is helping to serve my recently developed addiction to British steel.
I wont even get into the WW1 addiction that’s forming .
Australia sent 2 of their Centurion Bridge layers to Vietnam. I have had the fortune to climb all over (several times), photograph and measure up one of them.
This is me in the safety vest on the left. a still from a youtube video.
I like the idea of a bridge layer. It takes some big brass ones to want that. Just having measurements is big brass balls.
With that type of build there is no such thing as chickening out . It is more like probing the enemy prior to the full assault
I’m in. I’ve been wanting to do one for ages. Ill either do a Canadian one in Germany in the 60s or maybe paint something brown for a change and do up a Jordanian model.
I’ll probably be a later start though so I can concentrate on the C1 I’m starting for the Canadian campaign.
Chris, although Cents are a wagon that I wouldnt normally do … I will lend my support … so its now 6. I wont be starting it until at least Oct; prob Nov, and no idea what I will be doing, but it will probably be a variant and not a gun tank.
I’m excited for this one, been wanting to do something on the centurion chassis for a while, glad someone has made the FV4005 in styrene. The gun on it is a monster, I look forward to building it
I wish I had a proper conversion kit for this. I would love to do the Olifant Mk1A. I just hope that AFV Club or Amusing Hobby do a plastic version at some point.
