I'm cheering you on from my sick bed - so seeing it in the gallery will really cheer me up. All the best - Steve Many thanks chaps. Hope you feel better soon Steve. It's all finished. I'll take some photos for the gallery in a bit. Theres a couple of bits I'm not too happy with, but overall I'm pleased with the results. Many thanks to Stix for his excellent hosting and a thank you to everyone who has looked in and supported the build. All the best Ben 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The photos in the gallery reveal the work that's gone in to it all Ben, when you consider it's scale, what does the base measure? My guess around 110mmx 150mm, very deceiving in the photos, but most impressive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess around 110mmx 150mm, very deceiving in the photos, but most impressive Wow - that's a very close guess on the base size. 14cm by 9.5cm on the top. I have a mate who's a joiner so asked him to cut me a few up one day. Ended up with a box of 50 so plenty to keep me going for a while (although nowhere near enough for all the stash!!).

BIG X Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hey Ben - you can't have too many bases... ...I think a good base 'makes' a good build and that is something I'm still learning - it only works though if the model being displayed 'deserves it'... my best attempt so far has been a pair of 109's with a 'bronze' plaque base... ...a little off subject for AFV's - but another slant on a base idea - I'm proud of it - a little different - I hope. BTW - yours is my favourite in the 1/72 section Steve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - yours is my favourite in the 1/72 section Steve Hi Steve Hope you're feeling a bit better. That's a very very nice base! Love the presentation and overall finish . I really enjoy playing around with the groundwork and always try to do something new each model I finish. There's a couple of bits I'm not happy with. The black edging on the front is quite rough where I patched the filler so.I might just go back and redo this as I keep seeing it. The others I'll leave with and chalk them up to experience.

I've got a fun idea for my 72nd tiger buid, maybe a location change from North Africa, to northern Italy, I've got some hauler pe for it too, I just hope my 6x reading glasses arrive in time 🤓 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
