Hi CZcams,
In this video I'm building AFV Club Centurion Mk.5 AVRE. I will be using mainly Mr Hobby, Tamiya, Scale Modellers Supply (SMS), VMS, Ammo by Mig and Abtielung 502 products.
Please see some useful links to products below:

I have not been paid by any of the companies mentioned to promote their products. All products have been paid for by me personally and promotion is for information purposes. However I am a hobby shop owner and I do sell most of the products mentioned to the public.
If you are down in the South West UK, you are always very welcome to come in and see me at the shop. scalemodelshed.co.uk/visit-us/
I hope you enjoy the video.
Have a great Christmas and New year!
Happy modelling

Just a quick add on to your excellent vid: I drove one of these for 3 years in the 1970's and then went on to command one in the early 1980's before becoming the "Staffy" of a Troop which deployed to Desert Shield/Storm with three AVREs (plus two AVLBs and three Spartan CVRTs). It's a shame no one makes a matching model of the enormous 7.5ton trailer that they almost always towed. Incidentally, any paint on the face of the dozer blade scarcely survived more than a minute or so once the tank started dozing work, consequently the blade face never got painted unless there was some kind of parade or inspection coming up. The exhaust outlets were always completely rusted and the paint on the exhaust covers blistered and burnt off very quickly (from the centre top, outwards).
REspect Sapper 🙂
There is a trailer model, by accurate armour. But expect its ridiculously expensive. I was AVRE crew-9Tp.
I was 31 Ftrs Cent Arv commander for awhile 👍
This yank. Thanks you for your service 👍🏻💥👊🏼
Ex 26. 84 to 92 😎🥳👍
Amazing! I can see that this type of hobby is very engaging, from the models being built, to all of the accessories (air brush, etc.). Simply spectacular. Thanks for sharing.
Best 41 minutes of my day
Some of the best weathering I've ever seen. Jaw droppingly realistic
I love your weathering techniques. I feel like most modelers don't really understand how dirty tanks get. I was a tank commander on an m1 and I distinctly remember seeing weeds growing in the tightest nooks and crannies on tanks that had been field training for especially long periods of times. That should give you an idea as to how dirtied up they really are.
sounds about right lmao it's not like they're cars that gets washed every week
Not a tank crew, but I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and also see weed growing on machines.
I think it's mainly a question of intent. Do you want it to look like an active duty vehicle or more of a museum piece?
I worked at Bovington. Not the Museum. But the base repair workshop.Abro,DSG. Occasionally there would be a Cent in for work. And they were my favourite tank. From when I was a kid seeing them come past our house,on “Mighty Antar tank transporters” on the way to Portland. To go to Egypt (Sues crisis) ,and Cyprus. They were always my favourite tank.
At Bovi my mate used to drive them,after the work needing doing, and they had steel tracks.So coming down the hill,and turning into the main road towards the workshop,(Past Lawrence of Arabia’s cottage) they had to come round very slowly or they would drift! Terrific British tank.
Absolutely Beautiful model.
I like your building videos. They are very informative...and most important to me, you talk what's necessary. Some modelers talk and talk and talk endlessly. Thank you!...
Just wanted to say I absolutely love your presentation style and clarity. Everything is explained in detail with clear reference to the products you are using. I just ordered a Centurion AVRE along with many of the products you listed in your video to attempt my own build in the coming weeks! Keep up the great work.
Scale modle shed your Tank model kit is awesome my friend
Amazing! Beautiful work.
Very nice work.
Fantastic work Andy! Thanks again for showcasing our paints and showing how they work perfectly well with many other brands and types 😁
Mighty fine build.
Stunning 👍
Andy, I just subscribed to your channel. The first one I saw was the Fairey Swordfish. Your skills are amazing! I've been modeling since I was 7. RC, plastic kits, you name it. I am 51 years old and your skills are absolutely mind blowing! You have the skills of a world champion! Did you ever go to competition? In my humble opinion, you should! Your builds put a huge smile on this geezer's face! Damn!👍👍👍😁😁😁
Andy, that was hoofin’, what a great video.
Great weathering, exhausts and gun covering particularly. Never managed to get mud & dust looking completely natural myself but this is marvellous. A good eye etc.
Wow. That's it. just wow.
In my minds eye I see a crew with a lot of paint and brushes, with a csm turning purple with rage.
As always amazing
Wishing you a great Christmas and a better 2023 🥃🍷👍
nice work
Gorgeous!😮😊
As an ex royal engineer, this has always been one of my favourite bits of kit, though unfortunately never had the chance to work with it, fantastic model really good job!
Sorry to hear of your demise luke. The only Ex Sapper is a dead one mate.
I randomly came by your channel after falling off with my tank modeling 10 years ago. I have thousands and thousands (and probably ten more thousands) of dollars invested into the hobby. I built only WWII Tanks in 1/35. I would strongly suggest that you create some weathering tutorials. I would love to watch them, and they would be invaluable for new and experienced modelers! You are an absolutely incredible artist. Thank you for inspiring me to find some joy in the hobby again!
and yes I know this is a modern tank :)
Beautiful kit👍
very good just like the real one
This is the coolest tank model
My only 2 points would've been remove more paint from the blade or add more rust and i wouldve gone more crazy on the mudd in the rear like some chunks that have been sprayed up from the tracks !!!
Other wise ive found a new hobby channel that i love and will definitely come back for tips to help me start making my own models !!! Great video
Great stuff. Really appreciated the patience and dedication on the modelling. It looks epic!
WoW~ wonderful~!👏👏👏👍
Incredible Art.
Merry Christmas!
Really cool.
great weathering， I had a lot of benefits：D
Just in time for my train ride 🎉
Great vid again!
Merry Christmas
I cant believe i havent found this channel before!! i just subscribed 😊
INCREDIBLE...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Great State of Texas
I crewed one of these for 5 years in Germany back in the 80s, they never usually had the hush puppy tracks, they were fitted to the REME Cent ARVs. Kit would look much better with the metal tracks that they usually had fitted but great work on the kit 👍
🙌💯 awesome
做的非常用心🎉🎉
I remember one of these brought to Northern Ireland to clear barricades in the troubles.
beautiful build, awesome weathering technique, realism
Masterful.
AFV Club is made in Taiwan, great stuff!!
台湾メーカーのマニアックなパーツ構成は、メイドインチャイナとは異なる工夫があってすこ👍
Cool!!!🙂
Great job. Amazing weathering details
i skipped to the results and i loved it. amazing work
Very nice build. I love the bricks!
Excellent build. Looks sooo realistic
Nice
That AVRE came out perfectly, it truly is a beast of a machine, I did see one at Duxford when I was therd many years ago, your paint finish was faultless and the weathering was excellent, I would like to wish you and your family all the very bedt for Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
I was after it for 2 years waiting for it got the first batch and it's sat I'm the stash since! JUST got so much on the bench but I'll built it in January when get the scammel commander from hobbyboss to put it on the back
I haven't made a model since I was a kid and now 55 but I really love watching your builds, back then I think the glue was in little tubes and so messy :)
That is a great looking tank. I truly loved watching this one. Thank you for sharing, I learned quite a bit today.
You’re a wizard
good !!!!
That was such a good watch, it turned out amazing great job!
WOW!
Bellissimo
It seemed a tad strange to see the turret basket sitting on the engine deck but then I thought of the different reasons why they might detach it. I think maybe the story here is that it also has a fascine frame and if the fascine is being carried you'd not be able to reverse the turret if you needed to.
Great to have a highly compatient modeller demo them great VMS products.
I'm not really into tanks being pretty much exclusively an aircraft modeller, but this looks really great. Super work.
The verb for weathering tank tracks should be "to sutcliffe"
And my very expensive Accurate Armour AVRE is still in the stash....😁
Why couldn't this kit be released earlier...
Wow! Impressive! Nice work.
I really like how you jump between armor and aircraft models. I like to build the same way. It keeps things fresh.
Beautiful work, amazing skills. Great video!
Otro gran trabajo sin duda, que firma de utilizar las pinturas para conseguir el efecto deseado, ASOMBROSO,😱😱😱 felicitaciones y saludos desde Guatemala
Wow..many many hints..this is a must save episode..thank you
its so wonderfull but i think its too much sandy.
9.5/10😍
A stunning build.
Results continue to be excellent. I do hope we don't see you go the way of some other channels with VMS. Their products are excellent, no doubt, but they also seem to be the brand most aggressive in getting channels to exclusively use their products and it can start making models look very 'samey' and preclude interesting alternatives. So whilst I hope any relationship with them is good for your business (who would not wish that!), I do hope we still see some variation from you, because it would be a shame to see you hemmed in.

I don’t think you need to worry about him being tied to one brand 😂
He used a variety of brands here. Plus I've never seen any of the "other channels" exclusively used VMS products.
very impressive and beautiful work
Great build and paint job. Superb weathering techniques very clearly demonstrated and explained.Thanks so much for sharing! I'll visit your website to purchase and try out some of the materials you used.
Great job, it turned out really nice.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Great video and very informative re weathering. Thanks.
That centurion looks nice!
Back when i was doing 1/35, i always tried to have a ball of specific gauge string to hand for excellent tow ropes, plus, old guitar strings were my friends as far antenna`s went.
“SO I STABBED THEM REPEATEDLY WITH A SCALPEL and that did the trick” 😂
that has to be one of the finest modeling vidios i have ever seen !
You are a great artist. Amazing.
I have the Amusing Hobby vesion 1:35 in my collection waiting to build.
Great kit but no cockpit detail???
What do you do with the models and dioramas you complete?
Fantastic looking model, makes me want to try armour as I've only done a few 1/72 scale planes although I do have a Willys Jeep to do.
Just sharing something I went and looked up: CARC Green and Black are Cold War era ‘Chemical Agent Resistant Colours’ They are a real acronym, not a fancy name SMS came up with. Well, we’ve all learned something new today… 😉
Except for all those clever buggers who knew already…
You are correct. CARC paint is a Cold War paint that was supposed to repel any chemical agent that got onto it and make decontamination of vehicle a lot easier. Also, it is a cancer-causing paint. It was supposed to be most lethal in liquid form thus persons actually painting a vehicle had to where certain chemical protective gear/breathing apparatus. Once the paint dried it was AOK. AND - something that we learned the hard way while in the military, the cancer producing agents from CARC paint was also supposed to be quite lethal if the paint was burned off of a vehicle (like if a vehicle was burning after being destroyed in combat). PLUS - my favorite - this stuff was also supposed to be lethal if you were trying to grind through the paint with a grinder, thus producing DUST. We were told by our officers that using our GAS MASKS would protect us from breathing in the dust except nobody bothered to provide us with appropriate filters for the masks!! I was a safety representative in my unit during the 1990s and had to learn all about this crap - quite scary what CARC paint was capable of doing to the human body - surprised that I am still alive after messing with that stuff. Your comment brought back a flood of memories dealing with that stuff.
@@jamesbednar8625 another one of those “prevention is worse than cure” ideas. Great idea, poorly executed. How Army like? 🤨
Do a diorama for it
Why the perch on top of the turret? What was it used for?
Excellent built. One tip - you don't need to use bit expensive method for raw steel texture like Anti slip from AK.
Much better result for steel texture obviously is Tamiya grey putty diluted with extra thin cement and tapping with brush.
Hi, did you end up using K54 part the new sprue for the other hatch next to driver? There's nothing on step 18 saying to use any periscope there is not one that fits on clear sprue but this green on fits and has a bar handle like a sub periscope handle!
Just found your channel and subbed. Mesmerising work.
Fair play Andy after watching this video and after our discussion today i now know what i need to work with pigments brill video and build buddy see you Saturday
What airbrush do you use? Great work
Absolutely amazing builds! Subd.
Could we see a Panther G ?
I have a question. What airbrush do you use? I have been thinking about buying one for over a year, but I don’t know which one to buy.
