Evening all,

Here’s a little base I’ve been putting together over the weekend. Using the items I brought the other day through John, plus some bits I already had.

Really enjoyed this....hope you like.

Hi Paul,
The rocks are chipped slate from the builders yard. I just painted them up:smiling4:
I hadn’t even thought about a crew for the 222 but it’s a possibility......I’ll look into it:thumb2:

Looks great Si, amazing what can be achieved largely from bits that are just laying around.

A lovely little set up Si. Beautifully done.

I like this weekend project ! Paul's right, a figure in the turret should look cool.

 

[Si Benson]

Mick, Peter & guy....glad you like it.
Sometimes I need a quick project like this when I get bored with other builds or want to test out new materials.
Cheers gents:thumb2:

Cracking job, Si.
I'm a big advocate of using junk, what's lying around and what's growing. Why buy when it's all there for free?

Top work.
