Hi Troops.

I'm part way thru a Normandy based 20mm commission. I don't normally post wips pics but as part of supporting the Braille board ( see the "Does anyone take Braille seriously" post), I thought I'd add pics as I go. Got about 7 vehicles, 2 guns and 60 or so troops to do ...........

First up are some finished Brits, Milicast Loyd Carrier and 6pdr, MMS Humber Recce Car and AB crew.












Next are some finished Jerries, an AB Pak40 with crew.

Hi Brent,

Your work is trully inspiring. I'm not fond of heavily weathered braille AFVs but I like seeing your posted works all the time. I appreciate the skills involved in the build and paintwork because I have yet to have my own style.

The Pak 40 dio is very nice and well taken. The crew poses is very dynamic for the scale. I can see the tension in the composition. Thumbs-up, mate!C[ ]

Some of the best braille scale work I've ever seen. The figures are gorgeous.

Brent,

With you it just keeps getting better and better. I have not taken the time to post comments on some of your earlier posts and I have been wanting to do so but sometimes I have to rush through here to let my wife use the computer too! Anyways, that gives me a chance to work on the bench so that part kinda works out for me in that I can build someting but you sure are one heck of builder. Do you ever go to sleep?

Keep posting, your an artist Brent. Totally AWESOME!!! Excellent set of photos as always!

I'm trying to achieve the same, but achieving that level of detail is very hard
