Nicely done so far John, love the figures. All coming together very nicely.Cheers

You wouldn't of thought so if you was here Paul lol, it's a pain. I have the Tiger 1 & BergePanther from Italeri and are great kits but this, it must be old molds or i'm doing it wrong. Airbrush is still a no go thats why it looks odd with the paint. Them figures are great need to get some more for the stash, just in case.

Have fun, John

Thanks fellas, got a bit more done today, well the base anyway. My usual recycling, old picture frame and polystyrene block, static grass and long grass is not recycled though. The polystyrene block was made to fit the frame then roughen up on top ready for the grass, painted in earthy colours. Thinned PVA on top of that then the static grass, then it was time for the long grass. I made a tool some time ago out of an old needle and a cork, cut the eye of the needle to make a nice little poker in type tool thingy. I forgot to take photos of the ground work being built up, i just lost track of time.

Have fun, John

Lookin good John, might use some of them tips for grass on a Viet dio (well in the future).

What is it with Heng Long S&S units that drive women up the wall, my Mrs hates it when I start its patrol missions round the house! I think it sounds nice.....

Thanks lads, the grass was easy to do as it's not glued in just stuck in the holes. And i forgot to add to this post that it's now finished. http://www.scale-models.co.uk/completed/10064-two-degrees-left.html

Have fun, John
