Copper State Models 1/35 Lanchester Armoured Car w/PE part 1

In this first video we get all the chassis and main body built up and half way through decide to add the PE set from CSM. There is a review of the PE set on my channel.

Another build,excellent.

Yeah Gary, ANOTHER build.. but this is old film. note the Mk.IV tracks in the top of shot.

About the inside: I think they were often painted white (like the RR for example) and probably the visor/front hatch would be as well. But since this kit doesn't come with any interior it really doesn't matter. I just thought I should say that.

Nigel, I was kinda sceptical about this video, was not expecting anything from it, but I was so wrong)that is a very nice build! Thank you for sharing it with us!CSM

You're welcome Edgar.

Great build. I got this kit yesterday for Christmas. I can't help but think though, that CSM should have provided plastic alternatives to the PE parts in the base kit. Seems a bit cheeky to sell missing parts in a separate set and not all modellers can achieve a good result with the stuff.

Hi,nice build Nigel,nice looking kit,very crisp,i got the Roden models I think it is the Crossley?,early RAF version British amoured car kit,the all steel wheeled verion,as opposed to the bike spoke type wheels anyhow,which is the type I'm more familiar with in movies,TV shows & books & comics growing up,but this copper state models kit looks like it's going together real sweet so far?,I have about half built My Roden amoured car so far?,also I have the other version of the ICM model T WW1 ambulance kit as well,that I have about half finished also at present,cheers

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I've been toying with getting the Roden kit, but it's Roden.. what's it like?

[@malcolmbolton1473]

Hi yeah,it's not a bad kit really,I would have liked the poked wheeled version better,but it costs about 5 bucks more than the steel wheeled version,and with shipping from the Ukraine to Oz I opted for the cheapest one,no photo etch anywhere to speak of,but I can take it or leave it with PE as it is anyhow,as I have been building models on & off since the mid 70's or so?,so I'm kinda old school when it comes to resin parts & PE anyhow,the armour plates on the hull needed abit of Tamiya putty applied to the joins once I started gluing it together I found,plus a lot of the small detail on the chassis is quite tiny & fragile also,needs a PE set for that I find?,I just scratch built some of it out of some thin sprue I got with a set of Modelkasten tracks I got for a Tamiya Pz IV. stug I built about 3 or 4 years back,it's abit out of scale on the chassis now I know,but it's much less flimsy now & will look ok once it's complete & painted?,add abit of mud wreathing maybe also,but a good kit all round me thinks?,cheers

[@malcolmbolton1473]

I think your WNW kit reviews are up there with Phil Flory's & Harry Houdini's also Nigel,and the PE aftermarket accessories also was very interesting,keep up the good work,I can take it or leave it with PE as I say?,have you heard of a fairly new group on Facebook called The Mediocre modellers club?,started by Andy from Andy's hobby headquarters,also here on youtube,I put up a tip I came up with when building WNW & other WW1 type aircraft?,I have recently built the WNW Sopwith Snipe(Late),I also have the Gotha,the Fokker D. VII(early) & SE5a(Hisso) in my stash,also thinking of getting the Red Baron Albatross too?,cheers
