GRK Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 This is fantastic! The vegetation is extremely well done, plenty of layers and height. The bamboo in particular is spot on. There’s just too much to comment on so I’ll just say it’s amazing,how long did this take you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 That's an absolute cracker Fabrice. It's very atmospheric, so much so that I can hear "Paint it Black" playing". John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vytautas Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Completely agree with the others. Looks brilliant, especially water and plants. Tank with figures, of course, too Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Simon Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Thank you all for your kind comments😀! @GRK The assembly of the tank was quite quick, this kit being relatively simple for a Dragon model.Most of the time was spent painting the vehicle and figures and making the base. Let's say a good month with a rather busy professional schedule 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Excellent all the way. What a brilliant piece of work is this! Did you shoot the photos in a subtle soft focus to suggest humid air? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The sweat stained fatigues and body language of the soldiers says 'hot and humid' so well. I may keep dropping in to find another aspect of this dio. Too much to take in at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) C'est bien. They really are a sitting duck in that swamp with the vegetation all around. It looks hot and humid. Just as I remember it, no not the war but my honeymoon. 😅 I look forward to your Hue vignette. I visited the city. It's very atmospheric.
