Wow Alan! Until I saw the Marder on there I had no idea of the scale of the thing - that field puts Wembley to shame!

to me it looks very good, I like it like that is a fence running acoss the back at all ,or is it just like in a field ? because if you did a fence you would have add rail/post

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Monica I was going put a fence up but it would be blocked by the tanks

I've painted to of the footballers today but I'll post pics tomorrow to get better light

great work Alan, , been a long hard match by the look off these chaps , must say nice work on the black shorts, as i think black the hardest color to paint,

 

[Alan 45]

Thank you Monica I appreciate that

I agree black is the worst colour to paint if you don't get the right shade of grey for the highlights you have to do it again

 

[Alan 45]

Now I have more on the dio I have taken a beauty shot View attachment 80666
