A.R.1989 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Ready for inspection is my latest build. This is my first time posting a RFI on here so I welcome any comments and suggestions for improvement. But please note figure painting is not my forte. This is Tamiya’s excellent 1/35 Cromwell with added eduard photo etch where it was relevant. The build was seamless and the fit was excellent. Built as a Cromwell from the 5th RTR of the 7th armoured brigade on their way to Villers-Bocage on the evening of 12/06/1944. 44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi A.R.1989, It is a nice model, very well finished IMHO, and the base is an ideal complement. The figures are not so bad, they do not detract from the model, the same thing happens to me, I am not good with figures, that is why I include very few in my constructions so far ... I hope to change it some day ... lol Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendModeler Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Looks to be an expert job on the build to the base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Very nice. I like the camo net. I did this kit years ago, it will be interesting to see how the Airfix one compares. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Super, Cromwell looks great and I always like a base with a build, what's not to like! Nice work and welcome! Atb Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Beautiful build, the crew look great, in fact, it all looks brilliant, lots of detail that you have done, really making this an excellent model! Vytautas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblestripe Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Very nice build, the figure are absolutely fine. The tank is superb and the base very good indeed. If I would make one slight suggestion it would be that the pointing infantryman would be looking up at the guy stood on the rear deck of the tank that he is talking to and perhaps the commander in the turret might be looking that way to?

Ciao Filippo PVA glue and khaki paint. Mix it up at around 3:1 ratio of glue to water and a few drops of paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job of the ground work on the base. What did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APA Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Really nice build. Like it a lot. Like how you've held off on the weathering as these would only be a few weeks old in the field. Oh and may I suggest a subtitle - "Villers Bocage is that way but there's a very angry Tiger who wants his tracks back" 😉 Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another standard I've got to try and aspire to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
