Sgt.Squarehead Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Wow.....Missed this one completely! Smashing build of a great little kit, the French markings look a treat, very colourful compared the US subjects I'm working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Good morning Sgt Squarehead Thank you for your comment .. I made a few progresses since my last update I finished to place the decals , I weathered the tracks I added a tank commander , I worked on the display stand that I had salvaged from an old Matchbox kit .. I will try to add one or two soldiers and this build will be over .. Patrice Edited March 22, 2018 by TEMPESTMK5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Excellent work sir! Is that an old Matchbox base? I thought I knew them all, but I don't think that I've seen that one before. PS - Surely he should be going toward Paris, from Cherbourg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It does look nice on the base and with the colourful markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme H Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Have to agree about the figures, yours looks so much better for the Tank Commander, now wishing I had put one on mine, but then again I don't have any 1/72 figures of any kind, let alone Tank Commanders, and time is running out on this STGB, armour is not my normal thing, but I have enjoyed this one a lot.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 @Graeme H How about these, from eBay, the seller is in Australia (and he's been reliable for me, even on small orders, half way around the world): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Dog-1-72-US-Tank-Crew-and-Civilian-T72012/272745637076?hash=item3f80e824d4:g:QBIAAOSwAO9ZWVm6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 With deepest apologies to Patrice for the thread drift Thanks Sarge, I deal with them through their ordinary store where they are slightly cheaper, and have some great stuff there as well, opening up a whole new world 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
