Very well represented the image of the photo ... which is not easy (at least for me ...),,,:popcorn:

Cheers Ozzy :yes:

Thanks Francis,

 

it it took a little plastic surgery to get the right bits, I'm pleased with the way it's turned out as it a pretty fair representation.

Mrs hewy's got me on a diet, and i came down this morning to something similar to that sand, but  in a bowl for breakfast :D, nice job on the base ozzy

Thanks Glynn,

 

sounds appetising, :sorry:to hear that. Did Mrs hewy allow any :milk:with it? I've got a bit to do over the weekend, getting a good spread of sand over the base and finishing off the figures.

I think that's called muesli or possibly granola,  I think they can be quite nice with a bit of milk added. :eat:

Ha, yes ozzy the milk was a small luxury, although she would probably preferred r me to have had tepid water instead :D

Almost finished, I've just got to weather the tank put some bunting up and she's pretty much done.

Very nice ozzy, cool scene, probably the closest they came to a Christmas party for a good while 

Thanks Glynn,

 

hopefully they had something more substantial than your muesli for Christmas lunch.

Finished her off this morning, I found a bit of wire to hang the bunting off. I think I've replaced the reference  photo well?

Thanks for your words of encouragement thought out Guys,

 

i was going to do a firefly, but then couldn't resist starting this GB on Christmas Day with a tank with Merry Christmas on the side. It's pushed me to do a bit of soldering, and my first 8th Army vehicle.
