Appreciated to though. Cheers 1 hour ago, edjbartos said: Very nice Darryl, looks great, your figures really do finish this off nicely... Ed Cheers Ed, the headless loader is a shame but I've got a couple of spares to play with, just annoying. Considering how poor they were they don't look to bad. It's a love hate thing with figures, really like having them on a build but can be so frustrating and still a long way to go. As is said the only way to improve is practice, I'll give each figure a couple of attempts if necessary to get something acceptable (ish) and that's it otherwise I'd just get bogged down on the same thing and then mojo starts to drift... 1 hour ago, APA said: Very nice work indeed Love it.

Thanks Dan, I spotted those, I suspect they are probably more accurate and appropriate than the beret just figured the beret looked better out of the turret. I assume the helmet would be obligatory whilst pottering around? On 03/02/2021 at 16:25, PlaStix said: Hi Darryl. Fantastic looking Challenger 1. Awesome modelling and presentation!!
