Been kind of slow when it comes to modelling but here's one project
that I'm currently working on. Still missing is the gun, stowage and
a few more figures and another chair and a table.
As usual my historical correctness went straight out the window as
soon as I opened the box...
Hope you like it

Hi Sven,
This is awesome! You paint things in 1/72 better than most people do in 1/35.
This is just perfect.

Thanks Peter!!!
I'm quite pleased with it so far but there a lot of stuff left to do on it and a few
more figures left to do as well so I hope I can finish it without any accidents.

Another superb build. I do love the choice of figures.
They really need some form of awning though, it would be hot out in the sun directly.
BTW, what skintone paints did you use?
cheers

Thanks Mike!!!
I have a few ideas about the sun issue, I'll just have to figure out if it's
possible to do in this scale...
The paints I've used for the figures are Vallejo and the skin is a mix
that I did on the fly with several different paints involved but I have to
check what I used. Not sure I can remember the mixing ratios either.
If I can retrace my moves I will let you now.

Yes it's good fun to do some figs from time to time, specially now when
I do this vignette which needs some figures so it won't look boring.

The colors are Vallejo but I'm unsure about the mixes both for the
vehicle and for the figures. I know I have used Dark Flesh for both
the figures and the vehicle and Yellow Ochra for the vehicle mix
but I did it on the fly so I never wrote down the mixes...
Glad you like it !!!

You just blow me away with what you do with these small scale vehicles and figures.
Love the flesh tones you used. Great shading and highlighting.
By the way, are these Preiser figures?

Oh my.... Really thought it was 1/35 until I realized I was looking at the "Braille Scale" section. Outstanding skills on the vehicle and the figures. I should quit the hobby after seeing this

Sven-Åke,
Extremely supurb!!!
Excellent composition thusfar. Very enjoyable to see! Like the realistic looking ground work. Suberb job on the weathering. You nailed it on the figures. . . WAY TO COOL. I also agree that this build could easily pass for a super detailed 1/35 scale build!!! Can hardly wait to see more.
Perhaps you could do a tutorial on your figure painting, vehicles and ground work sometime?
Keep up the excellent masterful builds. Your an inspiration to us all out here online.
