discussion Ian M's Artillery SIG

[Ian M]

Well Having given up trying to scratch the last few details I wanted for this, I am calling it done.


The Loyd carrier was a great kit to build. Complicated more that needs be but built up into a long missed vehicle in this scale.


The 6 lb'er was a hasty choice as the new one from Bronco never turned up and after five weeks I asked for a refund and got it. I will just say that the Loyd was ordered from England two days after the 6lb'er was ordered in Denmark!!!


I had an older Italeri job in the stash so built that up. Not a bad kit and in fact I reckon a bit better than the Tamiya one....


Enough already.


While enjoying a break in the rain, a couple of gun crews have got together for a brew. Half way though the tea break, Jones comes blasting down the muddy track making the poor guys jump for their lives. Looks like some one owes Spencer a dry uniform...

nice work Ian

 

[Alan 45]

Very nice ian the whole theme is fantastic and a nice bit of humour to the scene as well


Did you alter the figures or did they come like that ?

 

[Ian M]

Cheers chaps. I tend to have a habit of trying to add a bit of humour in what where dark times.


Alan. Yes the figures did get chopped a bit. The odd arm or leg bent or made straight. also some of the feet got a change in angle.


Some of the arms are swapped around. so they are on a different figure...and some have had head transplants.... lol


As it stands all the figures are just planted with a pin in the bottom of their foot. So I can move them around a bit. Not a lover of diorama as they take to much room so they could end up in some other scene

Same situation here lan. I love dioramas but don't the room for them at the moment.

I like this Ian, superb story telling and superbly made. Quality build not only on the models but the base looks amazing, all comes together beautifully.

Nice little build and an added touch of humour I like it.

Great job Ian. Captured the moment nicely, poor Spencer is about to take a dip; Jones isn't going to be popular. Nicely made vehicle and gun, figures are nicely finished, and the base is awesome.
