Fantastic Richard good choice with 3rd armored not a lot of people represent them.

OMG Richard you've excelled yourself with this! The superlatives have already been used up by everyone. I am blown away by your talent imagination and artistry!
 
That is just so lifelike. Every part, just amazing detail and sense of realism. I actually feel like ripping off a piece of his bread. Richard you really do take it to another level.
 
Wowser Wabble!!! Really incredible idea and execution!!! It seems those trips into the jungle for a smoke, has paid off in spades Richard...Absolutely mind blowing detail!!!

Apologies for not replying earlier guys, last minute preparations and finishing got in the way.
Nice, love those pigeons, we've got some real ones you can have with pleasure Wabble.
Ha ha 35 is enough for me John, glad you like mine unfortunately will not trade.
That, my friend, is a total tour de force. Modelling and imagination of the highest order.
Absolutely superb.
Thank you Stefan, in the last two days I was amongst the best and felt humbled.
That is an absolutely superb example of the modellers art Wabble.
Thank you Scottie.

Thanks. It's a surprised to me too Greg but I guess many builds didn't have unit markings on their figures.
My jaw is on the floor. Wow!
We wore bibs at the show to collect dripping saliva at the show when viewing the figure section, Andy.
Totally agree. Very clever idea.
Jim, sometimes it's easier to build from a simple idea without too much thinking.
Keeps getting better.
I'm glad it did Lee.

Thank you Neil, there were more superlatives in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Siamese, Vietnamese and even Lebanese.
That is just so lifelike. Every part, just amazing detail and sense of realism. I actually feel like ripping off a piece of his bread. Richard you really do take it to another level.
Thank you Doug, the bread was fun to make and paint...I wouldn't rip it as it was a former teller mine.

Clean jungle air must have cleared my head to visualise the dio, Allen. It was only a matter of gathering the items needed. The hardest was locating the radio set from my stash. Thanks.
Not enough superlatives - that is just blooming awesome.
Arnold, as I replied to Neil there were more in different languages at the show. I found that awesome, most appreciated were from the judges and humbly accepted.
Absolutely brilliant Wabble.
Thank you Garry.
Fabulous, just love it - totally believable. And the painting of his fatigues is just, mwah! (chef's kiss).
Thank you so much Paul, acrylics have been a game changer for me in painting figures.
Awesome, Richard. The whole scene is top notch but the addition of the pigeons just makes everything come alive. :smiling: :thumb2:
John.
Yes and thanks John, the pigeons were the icing on the cake and basically completes the story.
Simply awesome Richard , as the title says -simple , yet supremely detailed and composed . You must be pleased with the final result , its a show winner for sure , cheers tony
Thank you Tony , yes I am pleased and I did achieve my goal.

Stay posted as there will be good news
