Very nice!

I assume it's the new 1/48 scale kit, as Tamiya makes the 1/35 scale.

Hey

You have made a nice model. What scale is it? I asume it's 1/72 since you've posted in braille scale. Looks great though!

Looks good!

Do you plan to build more braille armor? I hope so, because this one turned out excellent!

I build only 72 scale armor, but sometimes do something in 48, 35.

What is more, 1/48 scale I like slowly such as braile....

Thx for coments

Now that is most impressive. Nice work!

Did you use tissue paper soaked in white glue/water to represent the tarp at the back, over the wooden boxes?

cheers

Nice vignette ! A lovely scene, simple and effective.
The groundwork is well done.
The Cromwell is a fine build, good paint job too. Subtle weathering, just enough.
About the figure : I believe that you can add more depth in the clothing just by washing this little fellow with a dark wash, so the details will pop up in a split second. It's not too late to do this, just do not spill thinned paint on your groundwork. And if it's good for you, just leave it the way it is. Anyway, the wash is very easy to do and effective. Greetz, keep up this good work sir ! G.
