Now that's a baguette.😀 Excellent all round work, from paint to the figures. Special mention to the leather straps, a small detail but they work well. Well done mate.👏👏

[Milan Mynar]

It is an excellent work, that baguette is really big.

Hi Maddoxx,

A very good job, although not as precise a kit as other options, of course it looks like a Churchill, and Tamiya is a very good option to improve technique without spending too much money. I really like the added figures, along with their little banquet.

Cheers and TC

Francis.👍

That's what I thought, great soldiers are always very hungry. I know this from when I myself served in the army.

Very nicely done. The composition is great and tells the story without fuss.

Gotta agree about the tea tho! I know alcohol was always welcome, but the Tankies will tell ya that within seconds of stopping, a brew would be made. In any weather conditions!

Regards

Pete

This is a vignette that really works for me. I think it deserves a scenic base. Otherwise good all the way.

[Watto]

Nice one, you must be very pleased with this little scene. 

The feast looks like it'll be welcome..

 

Good stuff 👍 😋

British chaps wouldn't do that, swop it for some ration pack tinned beef or some cigarettes maybe. 

Lovely Churchill tank and how you have finished off.
