[monica]

like this one as well Jim,very nicely done,


do wish that i had dirt,and not some gray colored sandy soil,

 

[Guest]

Nice one!


The colour and the weathering looks very well. The drybrush effect give a nice touch to the model

Really nice build, it looks realistic and has a nice level of shading to it. I'm not sure but it looks like there could be a touch more weathering on the wheels, maybe dust or a couple of scratches

Thanks Monica, actually this "soil' is a bit sandy, strained out most debris and just wet it down a bit with a sprayer- generic base- something better to use than just the kitchen table..........Jim

 

[Guest]

Great work,i like it

 

[grumpa]

Great work,i like it

Thanks Ratomir, kinda rushed this one out a bit, apparently it shows..............................Jim

Nice Jim like weathering also shading on figs wish i had room for larger scale models ,cant get a lot of shading in 1 72 (probably something to do with my age) .

I am always amazed at how great your stuff looks for such a small scale, have to keep reminding my self it's 1/72 and besides, you're only as old as you feel. Right now I feel about 90.......Jim

 

[Gern]

You're gettin' real good at this armour stuff Jim! You did miss a trick though. You didn't drill out the end of the gun barrel.

 

[geegad]

cracking little dio top stuff

cracking little dio top stuff

Thanks John, not a dio really, just a little generic "soft" base for displaying stuff. Thought it would add a nice touch to when putting stuff out, better than the kitchen table cloth. wouldn't want folks to think I'm just popping tanks on a grassy or muddy board and expecting them to think it's a diorama.................Jim

 

[flyjoe180]

Awesome job Jim. The figures are very well done, the tank is A1 (as usual from you), and the scene is just right. The soil looks perfect to me.

 

[Snowman]

Great weathered look all round!! Nice stuff again!

Thanks for your kind words Joe, glad you like the figures {not really my forte} I've really challenged my self with current dio in the works, 8 figures plus a least a few "casualties" but will take my time with them. pics coming soon......................Jim
