Well it took six months to build, paint weather and add to a base with figures, and i am now saying 'ITS DONE'. Kit is Tamiya Challenger 1 mk3, figures from Accurate Armour, bags and crates from value-gear, camo net, tarp cover 'washing' all home made. Base is Vallejo sand, washed and dry brushed with various pigments and washes.
Hope you like it;
Main photos of the tank are here;

Hi Steve,
while there certainly are strenghts in this scene, I would not encourage to post enlarged photos of the figures!
Sorry, but the camo painting is really sloppy!
Cheers

Hello Steve ,
yes i like it ! The tank looks very nice it's a clean build , great paint job and the weathering is very well executed.
Painting camouflage patterns is not easy , it takes a lot of time and effort. But they are far from bad !!!
Nice touch with the newspaper by the way.
kind regards,
Kurt

Kurt,
Thanks for the constructive feedback. Soldiers are first ever attempt at desert camo, definitely no where near perfect. Can only get better now I have glasses so I can see what I am doing :-)
