Bullbasket Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I finished this a couple of months ago, but Telford got in the way, so now I've finally got round to posting it here. All relevant details about the build can be found here; Reasonably happy with the finished article, although still not happy with the figures. Thanks for looking in and any comments/criticisms.

Pete Robin Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 That is a very nice piece of work. It's good composition too. My first thought was that he was looking skyward for enemy aircraft. But then, looking at the expression of the other guy, I reckon he's looking up and thinking OMG, what's he going on about? Regards, Pete, who gets that reaction a lot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hi John, Despite all the last-minute setbacks, it has turned out to be a good model, full of details, together with its small base, very well presented. You make the label, or you order it from someone, for a long time I would like to put it on a model, but I would like it to have something of quality... Figures are always a pain in the bottom (for me...lol). Cheers and TC Francis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Open Office 4, and I just started a Text Document and typed up what I wanted on the label. Then you can change the background colour to whatever you want. Once I was happy with it, I just printed it an then cut it out and glued it onto a piece of cardboard. HTH's. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out to be a case of being rescued from the jaws of death, ie; the bin! In the end though, I'm glad that I persevered with it. John.

Bertie McBoatface Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I watched some parts of the build but missed the completion. It looks very good. I like the dustiness. I'm not sure about the fig the neck of the figure looking upwards But that small quibble aside. I think this is very very nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
