discussion SAS dio

[Alan 45]

this is idea has been rattling around my noggin for a while so I decided to paint a couple of figures up to get a feel for it


With me doing so well on camo these last couple of months I thought I'd have ago at it on a smaller scale and I think I've done ok


I'm not sure if this setting will stay like this or be something else, I do have a jeep the tamiya SAS jeep but I'll paint it up for the European theatre and leave off the water condenser

great work with the figures Alan,very nicely done,and nice detail as well,do like the face work,is clean,


and the camo turned out so well,keep them coming,

Looking good so far for the figures, they do look a little lost in all that open space, maybe go a bit smaller on the base

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys , this is just a shot to get a feel for what I want , I'm halfway through two other figures and as mentioned I have a jeep , I might research a few SAS missions and see if I can do something with what I have


Cheers

What about a Falklands Landie with your SAS that would look nice and some greenery ( just a suggest

Good idea rob but sadly the time frame is way out , these are WWII, might be one for the future if I can get the figures

Love how you have painted these figures Alan, I have so much to learn. Got to do some Germans in their camo smocks

Cheers Graham , I don't envy you painting the German camo , I had a crack once it didn't turn out too well

These are well painted Alan.


The camo looks great as does the berets and the shading of them.

 

[Guest]

Really nice paint job Alan.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I appreciate it

I've painted up another figure and took a jeep off another dio to give me a bit more of an idea of what I'm looking at


I do have another commando jeep and I might do both on a bigger base
