1/48 AFV CLUB and Tamiya SU122 and Evolution figures










I think the figure placement will go like this so they are looking over the SU122. I might add an additional figure behind the Tiger if it looks too empty, but I think it might work like this. I'm just going to paint the groundwork and add mud on front of the SU122 and tank tracks, paint the tree and basically done. Any last minute suggestions welcome, otherwise I'll just finish this puppy and move back to the Pershing next. Thanks

Home with a sick 2 year old today. So in between vomit, diarrhea, and nap time, I got some paint sprayed for the ground work and painted the tree. I sprayed Tamiya Nato brown, then flat earth, then buff. The tree painted the whole thing Vallejo pale sand, drybrush light grey, then mig brown wash.











Next up: a few spots of dried grass and tiny snow. Then I'll touch up mud on the ground work and tanks to blend with the tanks.

Thanks Stanley, I'm glad you like it. I saw the book on the website here a while ago and wanted to build this photo ever since. I've just been in a delayed WIP for 4-5 years. Thanks goes to the Getter Done campaign.
