Love the poses. Snorkle is a great touch, perfect for those sojourns through flooded rice paddies.

Looking forward to the base Andy, my Vietnam Sheridan has stalled at that stage; I also bought FoG 'jungle foliage' but, to be honest, it hasn't worked for me - I must overcome this lockdown idleness and start work on the paper variants. Good luck, once again looking forward to seeing the end result!

Very nice finish! Love the contrast between the paint sheen and the foliage.

Cheers Paul,
The figures leant themselves to this without any alterations really:thumb2:,
The snorkel was a kit provided option,i went with it just to add a little extra "Interest" to the rear :nerd:.

Hi Steve,
The base is going to be a bit of a fight for me i reckon:anguished:,I can see in my mind`s eye what i want to do.......but actually getting it to look like it in reality is a different matter!!:smiling6:
As for the FoG foliage,i see what you`re saying,but i`m hoping i can get it to represent a very dense area.I have one set of lazer cut paper plants which i`ll use in the foreground,but they`re quite expensive,so doing the whole base with them would`ve cost a small fortune!!:dizzy:

Thanks very much Tim:thumb2:,
I thought i may have over done the foliage a bit:rolling:,but when it`s on the base with all the other "Plants",it shouldn`t stand out so much.....
....... well,that`s the plan!!

Ooooh NICE!
I saw this last night on my phone but waited to see the pics on the PC- and well worth the wait it is!
Looking forward to the base

I've cheated a little and intend to include a seated Buddha on a stone base to take up a big chunk of real estate! I also have laser-cut foliage (Fredericus Rex) which, as you say, is expensive but hopefully the end result will justify the outlay! The Buddha cost about £3.50 from a 'Mind, Body and Spirit' shop!

HA!! What a coincidence!!.......
..... I actually saw a Stone Buddha statue on a base when i was searching FoG Models site for the plants,i considered using one for the same purpose as you!!:dizzy:
I didn`t get one in the end,which i`m glad about now....... it would`ve looked like i nicked your idea other wise!!..... I must admit,the do look rather good mind!!
Andy
P.S. Another coincidence..... A Sheridan was going to be my next build!!...... But I recently acquired a "Duster",and i decided to do that instead!

Good amount of detail, that's a great looking tank.

Sorry Neil,missed you there!:flushed:
Thank you for that,i`m pleased you like it:thumb2:,i`ve nearly finished the two figures for the base,and am starting to form the contours of said base as we speak:surprised:!!

Andy, just had a "catch up".......last time I visited, you were still painting the Figs. This has gone a long way and just looks the bomb. I'd say you have half the battle won if you can visualize what you want for a base.
I'm looking forward to seeing what develops. Rick H. :thumb2:

Evening Mr Smith, I say looking very smart. Your figures are really good by the way, love the shading on them. Tank looks the Dogs, I can see the Dogs Award Committee having an easy time when you submit this with its base.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Weeell, lets both do it! More than one Sheridan and more than one Buddha in country! OOrah!

Cheers Rick :thumb2: ,
The base is coming along a bit faster than i expected,and i`m actually rather surprised at the fact that it`s looking something like what i want:dizzy:!!
