Super finish Chris. Lovely vignette to display it as well.

Chris,
Very well done indeed. That looks fantastic.
I do have one question, and you'll have to excuse my ignorance but what's the head gear the soldiers are wearing? I've never seen it before.
ATB.

Bloody brilliant Chris, well done mate
Fantastic.
Love the whole arrangement, and the weathering on the tank is very nice indeed.

It’s the most ridiculous item of military (or possibly in general) headgear ever adopted, the mitznefet (which is also the Hebrew name for the turban worn by the High Priest of Israel in biblical times). Basically it’s a very over-sized camouflage cover for the helmet underneath, so that it will completely obscure its very recognisable shape.
Not sure about that Jakko, its up against some pretty stiff opposition……
thanks for comments guys...glad you like it.

Firstly I'd like to thank my parents, my siblings, and my long suffering Wife, my most heartfelt thanks go to one and all on here for the advice and guidance I got whilst building this.. must be doing something right with my builds, oh, I'd even like to thank Will Smith for not turning up to the award ceremony :thumb2: .....
I'm not qualified to offer any critique, but can say that looks flippin' brilliant.
