Bangor Lad Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I'd made some progress before an enforced lay off from modelling due to work commitments but hopefully I'll be able to make some more progress soon.

Bangor Lad Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Model was undercoated with Halfords grey primer and then pre-shaded with Vallejo Matt black. Overall colour is a Vallejo mix ( I can't recall exactly what shades) which was followed up with some lighter tones on the upper surfaces and in panel centres. Tracks, wheels and lower hull painted in an Earth mix and ready for detail painting and more weathering.

Bangor Lad Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yesterday I decided to tidy up the workbench after finishing a couple of commission builds and get back to doing some work on the Cromwell and the figures. As I don't have a great deal of space I normally pack away any work in progress to make room for any new projects. Can I find the Cromwell? Will have another look today..... Must be getting old 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Feeling such a pillock! Still haven't tracked it down. Attic, where most of my stash resides, is next on the list 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Still can't find it😕 I don't want to start something new until I can track it down as I have put in quite a lot of time into it. It must be somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just caught up with this - really nice finish - I like your shade of green. Tracks sitting very nicely. Looks great. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Had a little time this weekend to do some more to the figures for this one. Plenty more to do. Will upload some photos shortly. Edited January 23, 2017 by Bangor Lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 A mix of Mini Art tank riders and Tamiya tank and Bren crew. Still a bit of work to do on the uniforms and equipment. All painted with Vallejo acrylics. Infantry heads replaced with Resi Cast. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Very nice figures I know what you mean about the replacement heads the Resi Cast are very good I like the Mustache ones very British Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Figures look really good, especially with the replacement heads. The only one I don't like (no reflection on you), is the "runt" of the litter....second from the left. The Tamiya crewman. I'm sure Tamiya made him under scale. They did the same with their 1/48th figures. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Figures look great to me.....A bit of variety just makes them more realistic IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not have the finesse of some ranges but the poses are really interesting and provide a great way to make some nice set pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree with you, they do some good figure packs I've used a number of them in various projects. They seem to do kits with the pose I'm looking for.

Ripaman Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Those figures do look good but also that Cromwell looks good as well Regards Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
