    Just checking. Did you paint the end of that guy's cigarette?
    Don’t know about painting it? I’d expect an LED fitted in there to give it the required glow…..looking good though, highlighted by the usual excellent photography.

      The chap in question rolls his own smokes. Unfortunately, when he climbed up on to the tank for the photo shot, he inadvertently squished his fag, so there is no need to paint the end of it as the 'baccy' is now hidden inside the Rizla paper.........23/1

      Next please!


      Thanks for your nice post too,Tim.

            Nice work, but bit concerned about the first guy as it looks as he's holding a house brick in his hand, and the picture of the woman looks like she about to fend off the said brick.

            Regards.

            'specially for you, 453.
            I snapped off the woman's wrist and turned it through 180 degrees. Then I re-shaped and painted the 'Brick' to resemble a crusty bit of bread. Easy fix and well worth it.

            The figures look far better now and thanks for prompting a re- think. :thumb2:

                As your most excellent observation proves, we all need help at sometime or other.
                Anyone who thinks he knows everything about this model making lark is best avoided. Sadly such an animal, although extremely rare, does exist.
