thats great Alan, picked the best spot in the garden for that shot, great placement,

also like how you have used lumpy flock stuff as well, adds so much more

 

[Alan 45]

Thanks Monica it took awhile to find the right place and angle to shoot from so I didn't get the houses in at the back of our house

Update , goalie ball and dog now complete , I don't know where to stick the dog yet but put him chasing the ball for now View attachment 80708

Hi Alan,

you know there are times you don't know what to say.

well this is one of those times.

Well done.

Cheers Richi

looking better and better each time i see it Alan, the goalie, turned out very well also,

like the look on his face , of the concentration

yes let the dog play with the ball, so he dose not see my cats,

 

[Alan 45]

Thank you guys I must admit this is going too well for me it's getting a bit wierd tbh lol

 

[flyjoe180]

Awesome work Alan. If I were them I'd be a bit more interested in the tank busting Hurricane getting ready in the background!

I like the 2 guys in the background next to the command half track, the one with the field glasses looks like he's trying to watch from a distance...

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I pleased you like it

Steve that bloke in the background has the ultra field glasses ! He's in Libya lol

hi Alan maybe not the right time to ask, but re looking at the guys, how did you get the insigne , to stand out so well, ?

Im using mr color silver , but it dose not stand out like how yours dose, ummm that kind off sounds wrong

any handly tips, when using field blue and green please ?

 

[eddiesolo]

Well, what is there to say...this is becoming, in my view, your best work so far. Quality build and staging, and all knitting together perfectly. Very well done Al.

Si

Hi Moni I used either Vallejo model colour natural steel or revell aqua colour silver 90, I can't remember which now

As for field blue and green sorry I can't help really

 

[Alan 45]

Does this give the effect of a hastily sprayed tank

To me Al, it looks more worn than hasty. I rather like it, what you could do is add some home made camo splashes-some green-roughly applied to give the impression of maintenance area/crew commander getting hold of some paint and trying to get his tank to blend in a bit more.
