'cornered'

Excellent work on this one, Chris. A great composition, well executed. I was suprised when I first saw the pics because it looks very similar to one I made a while ago; same layout, same figures and vehicles, same scale

I too am a fan of 1/48 kits, but unfortunately in the vehicle departments, they're somewhat lacking in variety. Tamiya has a range of basic tanks, and Hobbyboss does a few T-34s and KV-1s, but other than that, it's just the occasional obscure manufacturer here and there (unless I'm forgetting some). I remember having the same problems with finding the vehicles I wanted to use, but there are a few resin conversion kits out there that might help. I've just had a look, and couldn't find any for Sexton or Priest SPGs, but there may be some. There's one I was looking out a while ago that turns the Tamiya Sherman into a M-12, so some of them can be quite a change from the original.

EDIT: Actually, managed to find a Priest converstion kit, if it's any use to you:

105 mm howitzer motor carriage m7 priest

Again many thanks for the coments, high praise indeed! And a special thank you to Greg, that priest looks like just the thing I'm after so thanks for doing the research. I shall be getting for the stash as I'm back on aircraft next with Hasegawa 1/48 harrier GR.7. Looking forward to trying a few techniques that I've not tried with aircraft before (pr-shading being one of them)

Again many thanks to all

Regards

Chris
