Hi
This is a kit and men I did a few years ago and just put them together to give to someone soon. My skill has grown since then I think but the weathering I just did. I will post more pics up on my website soon.
Thanks comments welcomed

From what I can see it looks excellent!

Please post some more pics so that we can have a proper look at it!

Looks like a very nice diorama and half-track,

I agree some more pictures would be fantastic. Is that blood on the window, looks very real.

Hi Paul. The halftracks looks great .... except for the floating tracks ... dont know what can be done about that.
The photos let the model down a bit though. The light source has given everything a yellow tint, and drowns out the natural colours. It migt be worth your while to fix this, so you´ll have some decent pics, when you eventually hand this over. Maybe taking the images outside in natural light would help.

Looks a good build to me apart from the track issue which doesn’t detract from it that much. Ref your pictures I am assuming you are using standard light bulbs as a light source, if this is the case change the settings on your camera to a tungsten setting it should improve the pictures.

Paul -

Nice looking half-track, like your "after action" scene. Thanks for sharing your photos.

Cheers -

Tim
