Hi Chaps

Well I made a start on my Diorama build sort of
I finished my Jagdpanzer and so have sprayed it NATO black XF69 as a primer .
I've still got to find my base and still waiting for other stuff to arrive before I can continue

Hi guys
Postie brought me a few parcels yesterday which will all go towards my diorama build. Some nice figures. I think one of the Tamiya figures sets is an older set but still looks of decent quality and detail .
John at SMS sent me some primer and a set of meng camo paints I ordered, these will help towards my Jagdpanzer

After looking at the two sets of figures for my Dio I'm not too keen on the earlier green plastic from Tamiya ( must have been an older moulding but the detail is not as sharp as I would have liked so ..........
Back to research and I have ordered my self a nice set from Masterbox which will fit in with this theme nicely
I'll still be using the briefing unit as this is a nice grey plastic/ styrene and looks very sharp detail
This is what's on order

Thanks Patrick

I'm hoping they go well with my jagdpanzer ambush, etc
Still need to look for a base but I'll be scouring the charity shops at the weekend fibs large style frame.
Ill get the new figs assembled this weekend and when the other masterbox ( you have ) I'll get them assembled too

Yeah like the last set of figures they look good mate

Those master box figures are a nice kit I used them in a dio a while back.There is a couple of bits need filling but they look good once done
A tip on doing the metal medais and insignia use a hb2 pencil for the silver parts
