Some excellent work there Robert, you must have got tips from some cleverclogs!


What you've done is really the holy grail of 1/72 armour - making it look like a bigger scale than it really is!

Thanks guys I have tried my best to represent the true dirt and rust effects on vehicles for WW1, that have not really had much chance to be cleaned and serviced. Also the fields of warfare churning up the dirt of no mans land.


Still have a few things like fixing the fachines to the tanks ( weathering on that ) finish the base ( vignette but more mini dio now )


Onwards with painting iddy widdy soldiers now


Thanks again

Superb job with the weathering on the Tanks Robert.

Little update on the tanks build they are both set in position on the vignette but I have a few things to do before the reveal


Painted 3 tommies think that will be enough now have 7 Jerries to paint ( they are so small to paint. Comments as always welcome

[Robert1968]

Thanks Monica ( really appreciate it ) I tried copying the colours from the pics but thought artist was a bit vague and dark really so I opted for Google and got the real uniforms and colours from there

[monica]

just get them as close too as you can,as you will not be wrong,


remember so meany factors come into it,like wear,mud,water and so on,so just do your best,


as there looking great so far,

[Robert1968]

Iddy widdy guys are har to get as close to detail but I'm doing my best ( where's Alan when you need him to paint guys for you but then that's the challenge.


The vignette is going to be my first ever big ( small vignette and what I've done I'm sure you will all like.


It's been worth it and an experience for me so far


Cheers


Robert
