thats a superb base.......i think its cos the hunter-killer is bland in comparison, being just the one colour, but theres nothing wrong with the HK

I agree with that Paul it is a dull feature to it , im after the HK tank it's a lot of dosh though

Nice paint job on the base, I agree it is because the model is so plain the base stands out.

Base looks good ,could you not paint panals different shades like you get on modern jets ?.

Nice base!!


It happens to me one time...I started a figure time ago, and the base looks very nice (almost to my eyes), I cannot said the same on the figure.

I don't know that the base is better than the model, but it's a mighty fine base

This is an old kit Barry and I wasn't trying to get it to look better I used it as practice for metalcote for when I build my 1/48 EE lightning


I agree the base looks better because of the bland look of the HK
