Just finished this tonight!
Mixed and matched the parts from the DML "Hedgerow tank hunters" Set, re-scribed, resculpted, added a few other bits and pieces and this is what I ended up with!









Over to you guys!
All the best,
Gary

Be honest I was thinking the same. May be 1/16... But still amazing work.


Cheers,

Gary...Mind=Blown Your figures are awesome & this is no exception. If I have to I'll beg you to do a build log for one of your figures. You put so much into such a small vignette. Epic.

Great stuff Gary! I'm glad to see you are managing to get some quality modeling time... and to see you are still working wonders with plastic figures.

Guys, Gary did couple of features over at Historicus Froma, explaining his techniques. Check them out:

Hunter

Another One Down!

Such a fantastic little scene- great movement and expressions on the figures and plenty of nice details in a compact scene- brilliant!

Hi folks,
Thanks for all your comments, they really do inspire me!
Chris & Tom, The main re-sculpted parts are: Front of the jackets, the arms, scarves and parts of the hands (to get a decent fit).
Jerry, quite a lot of my inspiration comes from your builds! Keep it up, my friend!
Dave, sorry. No WIP on this one, I'm afraid.
Mario! Good to see you here mate!

see you are still working wonders with plastic figures

. I'm a very poor man after Christmas! Can't afford the resin figs like you rich Guys Seriously though, I find the plasic fig lend themselves to conversion much better than the resin.
Bob & Karl, I try to keep the action in as small a space as possible, so as to keep the eye on the focus of the scene. No wasted space!
Conor, as Mario says, there are a couple of features over on HF, along with a build log, if you can find it! I am hoping to start another one soon though. Three figures this time (Getting ambitious now!). That will be on HF too, so keep checking over there!
All the best Guys and Happy New Year!
Gary.
