Just posted some pictures of my first model after a 5 year break from the hobby. It´s the AFV Club kit with a figure from Resicast with a Hornet head.

The model took about 70hrs to complete including the figure.

the tank looks very nicely built and weathered but i gotta say the face on that figure is amazing its one of the best ive seen, excellent work.

I agree the face painting on the figure is top notch. The model ain't too shabby either!

Wow! In black and white you could easily pass it off as a photo from WW2! Incredible model!!

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for posting the pictures, a really nice build, both the figure and the kit look excellent.

Will you be adding some stowage to round it off?

You haven't lost you skill despite the 5 year break, thanks for sharing this one, nice to ses another Brit tank on the block.

Cheers

Al

Very good work. Those hornet heads are the business aren't they and the British tanker set is one of my favourites.
Is that the .30 calibre mg that comes with the kit. It's very nicely finished

Thanks all for the encouraging comments. I usually paint the face of the figure in acrylics, oils tend to smear and blend all over the face (atleast for me) , oh I used a little spot of pinkish oil color under the cheekbones other than that its all acrylics.

I will not add any stowage to this tank, as I am bustling with new insperation and want to go on after the long break, this one will stay "clean" .

To answer the question about the MG, its the one that comes with the kit, I hollowed out the barrel end, Painted it with Andrea gun metal and used MIG´s gunmetal pigment here and there.

Be Safe

Top notch job Andreas!

Hej Andy,
Very nice looking Stu!

Were you a pro before you took a five year break?

Hope to be seeing more of your excellent work soon!

Take care and happy building!
