Lovely work Alan

 

[Guest]

Nice job on the MG Alan - the gunners shield looks very post apocalyptic!

 

[Alan 45]

Thank you guys and gal

John I loved the films even the third one well I can watch it anyway lol , the first is my favourite , arnie being the bad guy was good , he played the part brilliantly ( probably because he didn't have to string more than three words together at one time lol ) it went all a bit samy with arnie going back to being an action hero but I did enjoy them , I hope they do make the fifth movie

Patrick I'm hopping to get a 1/43 pick up and go proper mad max with it to give a real apocalyptic feel to the scene if I can't I'll make gun emplacement

Ok nobody got it so I'll tell you It's the junction , I've put a 90 degree angle for the pavement lol we have a rounded bend not a square one like the US

Anyway back to it this is my first 1/48 troop now it gives you the European DPM camo in the instructions but I'm not too sure about that Ockre colour I think it should be light olive so I will paint up another in what I think it should look like and another in a made up one but this is my first so I thought I'd put it up View attachment 81206View attachment 81207

Awesome Alan, how on earth do you camo paint those figures??

 

[Alan 45]

Awesome Alan, how on earth do you camo paint those figures??

Cheers Leo I cut down a brush to about 4 hairs so as not to make the camo to thick it's not that difficult , those ones are test pieces that might not be used in the dio , I will probably use a magnifying glass to do the ones for the dio

 

[Guest]

That car reminds me of the London riots! Excellent rusting effects Alan

 

[Guest]

this is all looking very good love the landrover.

 

[eddiesolo]

Some nice work there Alan, the poor landy Looks great though. I like the gunner too with his IR goggles on.

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I'm glad you like it

Here's the finished gunner , I decided to give him a spec op uniform to show a bit more of the mish mash this sort of war would take on View attachment 81462

[monica]

great work Alan,coming along nicely , like all the scratch build things you are coming up with great job so far

look forward to next update, keep up the good work,

 

[Guest]

Love the Warrior Alan, that's excellent!

 

[Alan 45]

Thank you Monica and Patrick this kit is ideal for this type of build as some of the parts have a slight bend or don't fit exactly giving it a look of being well used.

 

[eddiesolo]

Looking good Al, going to compliment the dio superbly.

Si

 

[Guest]

This is going to be very impressive when all put together

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I'm pleased your liking it , I've ordered som 1/48 brick walls, sandbags and hedgehogs today from johns shop, I'll use the hedgehog as girders , put some fine ballast on it then cover it with baking powder to look like broken concrete
