Looking good. Where did you get the Cromwell models tarp? I tried Mission Models but the Cromwell section shows empty for me and I can't search for it on the web site.

Good luck with it.

Fantastic work, I like how you do the details, and the weathering job.
The figures, is personnal, but I don't like the figures, not yours, all of them, to me the models without the figures are better than with them. Anyway, you do a good job.

I think you did a smashing job on this "bully".
The build and the PE look good and clean and I had my doubts when I first saw the camouflagepattern, but that turned out really well too.
The uniforms look quite green though.

All-right Jim , thanks for looking.
First off with the tyres I lightly spray them buff ( Tamiya ) or flat earth .
Then run a thin mix of pigments in turps or humbrol thinner all over them.
When thats fully dry , rub black charcoal or any dark paint on with the tip of your finger, I always use the charcoal.
Hope that helps.
