discussion M3A1 BY ILOVE KITS IN 1/35 SCALE LEND LEASE DIORAMA

[Guest]

Today was a figures day, did do a little to the base, but mainly painted some kit.

From the back


Now the front.


As before light coats, so more needed then I can start to pick out the details. The faces have had a second coat of dark skin, next I shall apply some lighter as before and again pick out the details. The hardest part in figure painting.


Thanks for looking in, much appreciated.

Your figures get better and better John. Mind you you've had a fair bit of practice.

Wobble,
Just had a catchup on your build and as always starting to look the business. Those figures look a rum lot, did you pick them specially to frighten the kiddies away....
Groundwork is coming along although the 'dark' version did look a bit chocolatey, pleased you have brightened it up it looks so much better.
Now looking forward to the water....
Cheers
Wibble.

Hi all, at long last the bunglow is looking good again.Just carpet cleaning being done tomorrow Friday and then apart from keeping the grass cut all is finished. The For Sale sign will go up once the brochure is excepted.

On with the diorama.
Once again I've been playing with the base colour. This afternoon while sitting outside in the sun, yes the sun I started to fix the water edge plants. Realised the decals need to go on as well.


Loads to do , will have a sit down tomorrow and make a list of what needs doing .

Good to be back, loads of catching up to do as can see you've all been busy.
Comments welcome .

Glad things are sorted. Just put it behind you.
Look forward to the Dio coming together. It will do you good to be back at the bench doing what you enjoy and excel at.
Sun shining here too. We've had a very long, wet, cold, grey winter. Sun is nice to see.
