discussion Mission Complete 1/35 modified Tamiya vignette

[rtfoe]

Hi Guys, it's been a long time since I posted. Here's my latest vignette that I entered at MALCOM recently. Enjoy the pics. I have a full WIP on this build with a great amount spent on sculpting the figures which I will post later.



My painting still needs improvement and I should have spent more time on it having finished this in less than 2 months...a record for me.
Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Wabble

Thank you. That was easy, just remove the spokes and airbrush the tyre threads after sanding them smooth.

Superb in every way.

Thank you kindly.

Brilliant work.

Thanks Steve.

Had a great time at the show in Penang and finally met Mike Butler the Kiwi and saw first hand his rendition of the Airfix Multi-Pose figure he painted which was featured in his FB page.

Thanks Steven, John R, Si, Peter, Joe and Tony. I was so busy with the WIP I sincerely forgot I also had it in the complete section. Appreciate the dangly and kind comments. This years show was held in a new venue...large but not the same ambience as the two previous venues. I had only less than two months to prepare for it and will not make the same mistake for the next.

Cheers,
Wabble

Thank you Paul and Paul, I was trying to find a quick build and while looking at the shelf, the guy on the bike gave me an idea. Also I had recently re watched Where Eagles Dare.
