Brilliant idea G, the crew ripping curtain out of the window & tying the whole scene together literally – genius

Hi all,

Some slight progress, I've dry fitted the basic roof shape to see how it'll look when finished...the buildings are still separate from both the base and each other so as to allow me to work on them as necessary. I will still need to add tiles, fascia etc, as well as snow build up.

I've also started on the first two crew figures, one guy will be in the process of finishing off wrapping torn sheet around the gun barrel, the other is giving him instructions (see images below).











I envisage a third crew member in the process of draping a sheet over the rear left stowage in an attempt at breaking up the starkness of the tarpaulin covered stowage. A fourth figure is likely to be coming out of the stone building with an arm full of sheets.

Not sure about the fifth chap, maybe breaking ice on the water pump in preparation for getting a brew on.

If anyone has any other possible thoughts on crew positions/actions please feel free to comments.

Cheers, ,

G

Great progress report and all is looking brilliant so far as usual. I like all the poses/activities so far and also the suggested upcoming ones as well. Might be hard to bring off the chap braking ice though. Another idea is maybe carrying an armload of scrap wooden debris with the trusty brew pot in the other hand?
Forgive me,but as in the movies,most of the time you must make things pretty obvious. Modern folks have short attention spans. Now...what were we talking about ?
LoL

Gareth,

All good stuff - though I would still maintain you need to apply at least some markings ("What, Why, Where" etc etc).

And please don't forget that even casually dumped cam nets still need to be secured - otherwise they will simply fall off when the vehicle moves. Also, if the item is secured it needs to be secured to something so please check lashing down points etc.

Sorry if this sounds like a bollocking (and you know where I'm coming from) but keep at it.

Very nice progress... The chap standing must be an officer!!! He also might be scolding the other bloke for standing on the BESA!

Great progress again, looks superb. Other ideas for figures – could one be on the tank stretching up to rip the curtain down or is it too far? Not that the cold needs any more emphasis but maybe one could be trying to warm his hands up under his armpits or holding a mug of tea...or playing a banjo… or all 3 at once

Now that would be an interesting sight... Would you mind to show us how this is done on a figure?

Ah now I see what you did there, flattery will get you nowhere…



…on the other hand…Soldier: check (OK so it’s winter on Iwo Jima), Banjo pickin’: check (the advanced method), Tea: check, Armpit: kinda…I reckon that’s enough for you or Jerry to frankenfigure it, I’m too busy unpacking & posting weird replies

I like this more than the previous location of the figure. I would not think of standing on a weapon that at a certain moment might save my life... The officer needs another viewpoint too, as it is looking at nothing at the moment. Maybe at the future guy pulling at the curtains??

I know Tim can do miracles, that is why I would like to see him work his own proposition out...

Yep , like the new arrangement G , looks doable !

Oh and Tim , ........... shut down the program and step away from the computer , ..... slowly ......

Fantastic G you’ve done a brilliant job already, love all the details like the snowdrift in the bouquet er bucket. About the engine deck, it looks dry when I’d agree heat would’ve melted any ice/snow on it, so maybe it needs some touches/streams of PVA/white glue to suggest water run-off…problem there being it might look like ice instead…hmm. Well anyhoo it was good of Glenn to allow me back to my keyboard long enough to


Thanks for "keeping up appearances" umm....Richard ?
