Copper State1/35 Lanchester | British WW1 Armoured Car

Hi folks, in this video I will be building the 1/35 Copper State Lanchester armoured car. This build was great fun and the construction only took me 2 days! ( of course the painting took a lot longer)

Watching these videos I can feel my blood pressure go down....thank you

[@lpjmodels]

That's a great compliment thankyou. Glad you like em.

[@davidcole333]

I've been watching your CSM builds, they're very unique, I love them all. I'm going to give one a try...I normally do airplanes, but these look really awesome.

[@lpjmodels]

They are excellent kits, you'll have a blast 😀

[@mobiuspenguin]

Gotta say, your different ways to explain water in the text boxes throughout the video had me chuckling

[@lpjmodels]

I was feeling a bit rough on the day of editing so needed a chuckle myself. Glad it was noticed 😅

James, a real feast for the eyes ! Thx for sharing

[@lpjmodels]

You're welcome Eric thanks for watching

[@ThePereubu1710]

"even though you won't see it. I know it's there." The modeller's mantra no "normie" will ever understand! My motivation to get back into modelling after a long, long break is building thanks to internet folks like you.

[@lpjmodels]

Glad to hear man, and it's a hill I'll die on. 😁

[@randomguyingasmask]

Now I know where to look for brilliant wooden surface paintings. Amazes me yet again, the whole model is beautiful of course, but the plank you made and the wooden walls on your previous plane build is just so unique and realistic, never saw it anywhere else.

[@lpjmodels]

Joaquim thanks so much,its good to hear my skills are improving, I do try to get better ( sometimes the camera gets in the way though)

[@fus149hammer5]

A perfect lesson in model making. Take an unusual model, build it, add colours and shading that give it "weight" and "presence"then go one step further by adding those small items like tarps and cloths and give the model life. It doesn't get better than that. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Fus, glad you like it mate

[@MegaBIGJOE64]

Yes yes yes,,, leaf springs and coil springs are not painted, too. They are black or metallic. You are my idol in the world of modelling mister ! Great video !

Cheers James 👌 Another mesmerising vid! 🤯 Amazing detailing work and especially chuckled at the old Wilko's reference 😂 Peace ✌

[@DazP2835]

Fantastic video yet again, really appreciate how you spend time actually showing and talking about the techniques you use and don't simply show 5 seconds worth and 'mention' what you've done...brilliant for noobs like me, especially loved the wood running board, i'd really like to see more of that, i've tried and failed to do well worn truck beds several times. Thanks again.

[@mgk8347]

Amazing Job! Always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks a lot MGK !

[@Trevor_Austin]

That was great painting. I also liked the little extras of the tarpaulin, the oily cloth and the wire binding. Excellent, cheap extras.

[@EmdeeScaleModels]

Just wow! I had zero interest in World War I armored cars until I watched this video. Now I really want to build one. Outstanding work.

Dear James, just two words: Awsome Job👍 The paintjob and wheatering is fantastic.

Thanks Robin that means a lot !

Mate I can't belive this comment went under the radar! Thanks for taking a look, your vids are great !

[@johnwoodside8714]

Yup, the paint scheme was in my opinion great. It turned it from plastic to metal, very effective indeed. Well done James, cracking model.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks a lot John, much appreciated 🙏

Such an amazing build your skill and attention to detail is mind blowing. As a foot note I tried to become a patron but was directed to another site which turned out to be fraudulent and my c.c. was compromised. Needless to say I will not be trying to do that again for anyone. I know you had no involvement and I enjoy your channel so much. ✌⛄✌

Thanks Vincent, much appreciated

[@allanrichards6448]

That's a great build and paint job. It looks really good. I like the CSM kits but agree with comments below about the lack of any interior and also in this case the engine. When you were doing the chassis it looked like the bottom of the engine was moulded to the floor and I don't think the floor would have extended into the engine bay, there may have been some plates mounted under the engine. I suspect CSM didn't want an empty engine bay to be seen from under the model.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Allan, one of the things I liked about this one was the lack of interior, it just made the build quick and enjoyable, as for interiors ,I love it when they are offered ( and most csm kits do have them ) because its great to have that option. But I don't want to do an interior every time . I wouldn't be surprised though if Copper State revisited this one and made a full interior variant.

[@allanrichards6448]

@@lpjmodels I have made two RFM kits with full interiors and it is a real challenge how to display the model to show the interior. With the Jagdpanther I cut loads of holes in the hull walls and made it look like a display in a museum. With the Sherman I raised the outer hull on pillars. If you don't do something to show off the interior there are far too many "but I know its there" details

[@ferbieticklater7429]

Brilliant work as always. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us. Stay safe mate!

Thanks Ferbie, you too mate !

[@michakl.5553]

[@ideiben3190]

Great effort! Have you ever tried the rock-salt chipping technique..? It saves a LOT of time and gives incredible results. Best to use Ice-cream rock salt and crush it up between a paper sandwhich.

Thanks Raife, I was apprehensive with the wnw Halberstadt I build but the fit was really good ( I am much more a painter than a builder) as long as you take your time it'll be perfect

[@Chad_Thundernuts]

Even as someone who is yet to built any models, I think it's fair to say that your work is exceptional! I have been watching many of your builds over the last week or so to help me learn what kind of techniques I can incorporate into my own upcoming builds, and every single video of yours is just such a huge inspiration. The final results are simply stunning. I'm going to bite the bullet and pick up a couple of kits for myself next week. A Hasegawa B5N2, and B7A2 both in 1/48, and I'll definitely be frequenting your videos for helpful tips. I know you like to do more unusual builds, and I don't know if you take suggestions at all, but I'd love to see what you could do with a Ki-10, or A5M. Either way, thanks for being a huge inspiration for me to get into this exciting hobby!

[@hughcoleman3866]

I have been considering starting this kit my self and thinking about how to colour and weather the underside and running gear. My view is that leaf springs and other metal components underneath very soon get all their paint chipped off and end up acquiring rust very quickly. Then there are areas where there would be oil and grease stains from leakages. But still rusty.

[@SerbanChiribau]

Awesome!👌
