Hi Tom,

Glad to see you posting again! Nice build! You know my predisposition, I'd add a bit more wear and tear to that nicely built model!! Or, as it's yours and not mine...enjoy it as it is!!!

Cheers
Nick

Totally right.
It's been kinda sitting there for a while, a little bit here and there and the one thing I wanted to do and was to dirty it up.Forgot to do before post.
Not a problem at this point.

Thanks for the input,

Tom

Very nicely done! I like how you presented a simple story-line, and the interaction between the figures looks realistic. I also think the low stone wall looks great.

Thanks guys.
David,for the last while I've gotten away from the clear paints and started using Future with food colouring added.It gives you much more control on how much of a tint you want to give something.

Nice work Tom. A great little scene which tells its own story.

I've noticed a couple of things if you don't mind me pointing them out?
The rear wheels on the LHS aren't sitting on the track correctly. And the Jerry and POW cans need some form of straps to hold them in place otherwise they'd fall off as soon as the tank moved.

Otherwise, one to be proud of

Hi Tom,

Very nice dio, simple but very well done and realistic.

See the 5th picture: the track is to be adjusted because the position is not correct.

I like very much the figures, very realistic.

Cheers

Giovanni
