Thanks!

I think the lights in our meeting room have a brownish cast, because this looks better here in what i assume is more whitish light. Great as usual! I'm sure i'll see this again in April.

Wonderful figure painting - resin matters always.
An excellent clean version of painting, in a ...heavy weathering world.
Keep doing your good work!

Hi, George. Indeed, wonderful figure. And the clean finishing I love it too. I built the model myself, in a very different way, I must say...

Thanks you guys! I like the texturing on the tarp to make it look like fabric. What did you use? Is the body color bluish grey? What driver figure did you use?

Hi, George. For the tarp I sprayed the enamel undercoat from afar, so I obtained a slightly gritty surface, painted afterwards with semi-gloss acrylics and dry-brushed with matte enamel (Model Master is my all time favorite).

As the cross stenciled on the tarp suggests, it is a captured vehicle so, yes, it is panzergrau.

The figure is the one provided with the kit.

Warm regards,
Gabriel

Anyone do a Tilly diorama with Subaltern Princess Elizabeth. SKP offers a figure of her based on a photo of her standing in front of her Tilly in WW2. It and several other photo are in the book Tilly Colours by Michael Shackleton.
