Here 'tis; notes to follow below:
yay - details! |
You'll note I've kept the Carrier free from unit markings - this is in the spirit of keeping it for general use.
Things I'm proud of include the following:
- The painting of general details like the driver's moustache and the rims of the enamel mugs (I remembered to paint the stock and furniture of the Tommy gun too);
- The painting of the Corporal's stripes and the Lieutenant's pips;
- The painting of the vehicle loading weight - it looks far better in real life, honest!
- The modelling and painting of the officer's map in the back (there's some dark green kit bundled up on the floor behind it too);
- The modelling and painting of the track marks - they worked better than I hoped!
- The modelling of the two brens...and the base on the whole, I suppose.
- Drax
Looks cool Drax! I really like the first picture with the "natural" background.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dan - my Midwestern wife is rather enamoured with the South Devon countryside which surrounds us: it's lush and green all year round!

Really fun idea for an objective. Paints a great scene!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg - it's certainly a very familiar scene! Thanks for stopping by, mate.
DeleteDo you have a blog, Greg?
DeleteDrax,

Stop by if you get a chance!
I love it! You've done an excellent job, all the little details really add up to something special. Cheers, Paul :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you - my evidently anipodean friend!
Delete[D'oh!]
No worries, we colonials are frequently mistaken for civilised people :-)
DeleteIt looks great. Lots of great details. The figures look very nicely painted. The scene is set very well. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, mate - I thought of your excellent backgrounded photos when blagging the first one with the local trees!
DeleteTop stuff Drax. The tread marks in particular are the stand out for me. Very well done. overall basing looks schmick too. I need to invest in some shrubbery I think to add to the normal static grass look.
ReplyDeleteTa very much, matey! The clumpage is a real game-changer, I think, if used sparingly...
DeleteBeautifully done, Drax! So much cool detail on such a tiny model - you've outdone yourself, mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Mate - praise indeed from you, too.
DeleteDid I glance some good ol' King Russes on your blog, perchance?
Lovely.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteVery well done. Love all the details and the Carrier with MG's and so forth painted looks superb.
ReplyDeleteSaying that, who the hell would be having a spot of tea during a Recce mission? Only the Brits...
Smashing - thank you so much!
DeleteAnd if in doubt...brew-up.
