tonyot Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Lovely job on `Oscar Charlie' there Etiene,..... I love the `Medicine Hat' BATUS style camouflage and ex 4 RTR eyes,....... plus the additional rough sand armoured texture too,.... all in all a beauty and another one to be very proud of. I think that 1 RTR are based at Tidworth Garrison, between Andover and Salisbury on Salisbury Plain,.....not one of my favourite garrison`s by any stretch of the imagination! Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanfrandragon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Very nice, I like the grass and mud tracks, and the figures look good too! The faces look most real, where are they from? Your painting skills are so good any chance you could turn that black wrist band into 'Help For Heroes' colours? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etienne Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hello, thanks for your comments !! Particularly about the figures as I am a real beginner in figures painting The heads are Hornet's UK modern tank crew, very detailed and I added the headset wiring for more realism ...

Kev The Modeller Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Lovely build mate its always very difficult to weather non combat armour. Trying to get the balance between lack of use or damage is hard but you've cracked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Sorry but I somehow missed the diorama update! You should have posted it in the diorama section and I would have found it earlier! I've already sung the praises of the Chally so.... Fantastic diorama. Superb figures painted most excellently. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
