That half-track is excellent, is that the old Tamiya one? I started one of those a while back, but gave up in despair at the amount of flash and worn mouldings, so we'll done to anyone who completes one!

Yeah it is, I did the other Tamiya one, the slightly newer one a few month ago and it went together perfect but yes as you say this one wasn't the best and had quite a few little issues when putting it together! Mainly with the wheels (they don't move now I got fed up and glued them as they just kept falling off when they were moveable) but got there in the end and was quite happy with it. Just need to finish off the weathering on the wheels and I'm all good. Cheers for the comment.

Nice work on the Half track and the figures are very well done indeed Jack.
Your paintwork has vastly improved since I first saw your work elsewhere.

Cheers Ralph, I'm happy with how my figure painting has come along over the past 4 months since I started. Good to see you back on here mate
