Battlegroup: M32 TRV.

The M32 TRV painted.
Miniature from Battlefront. 15mm.
I used the Battlefront name of the miniature. In the Battlegroup books it is named M32 ARV (Armoured Recovery Vehicle).
At first I wanted to glue the miniature together as pictured below. But if I would glue the A-frame jib on the hull as pictured on picture it wouldn't be very strong bond and could break of pretty easy. Also it would be too fragile to transport the miniature. So I decided to glue it together normally.

Tried to giv the miniature give a muddy look. For this I used Vallejo Panzer Aces 304 Track Primer. I think it worked out well.

Maybe the painting turn out a little too dark. But I happy how it turned out.

Thanks for looking.

A layer of black wash added.

A highlight using of a mix of Vallejo 887 Brown Violet and Vallejo 886 Green Grey. And tracks plus MG are painted Vallejo Gun metal Grey.

Next painting details.

M32 TRV part 1

Yesterday I started to glue the M32 TRV (ARV) recovery miniature together. It's 15mm from Battlefront and will be used for Battlegroup.
After opening the blister I first checked if all components where there. As I forgot to take a picture of the components I went to FoW website and borrowed a picture from their site.

After I bend some components back in the right shape it was glueing time.
Glueing the pieces together wasn't a real problem and in a short time the job was done.
And of course I again forgot to take a picture so back to the FoW site and borrowed an other picture. Note; instead of a closed hatch I decided to go for an open hatch with a commander.

Now that the miniature was glued together I took a look on the miniature and noticed that it looked too "clean" as if it was missing something. I decided to surf the internet to see if I could find some info.
First thing I noticed on some of the pictures of the recovery verhicle is that some had an .50cal MG installed. Although this MG doesn't has any purpose in Battlegroup I think it is a nice addition. Also an aerial is placed.

I also glued an barrel on the back deck. This is hard to see on the pictures.
And glued some Jerrycans on the back of the vehicle.

Last thing I did was making a rolled up camouflage netting out of green stuff. Which is placed on the front of the vehicle.

If all things I added are accurate I don't know but I like the look of it.

Thanks for reading/looking.
