Thanks chaps.

Got some figures started, bit of a mini disaster really, i bought some more "permenent" handwriting pens from "Berol", these are what i use for the fine lines and some detail work on figures etc.

I wondered why the pen lines were bleeding through the acrylic paint and washes .. on testing a pen it seems they are now water based ... i should have noticed the lack of smell when using them to be honest.

I'm gonna try and salvage the figures this afto, if all fails then it's a strip and repaint. ...

got the figures sorted and the diorama completed.

Got a full days drive tomorrow so it'll be posted up sometime Tuesday for all those interested.

Thing is do i just post the completed jobbie here or put it in some "completed" section ... cant actually see a completed section that this would fit in though to be honest. .... mods/admin input please ?

Colin, I had the same problem tonight with my 'Tracker' dio. I can only find 'Completed' sections for specific builds.....G.Bs, SIGs and the like, so I'm hanging fire for the minute and see what evolves......

Thanks very much for the positive comments people.

@ andy ... if this come out top of the t'inter-google list then hopefully it may inspire others to join up with the forum.

@ Ian ... there were quite a few web images of "tractor units" pulling guns and military equipment and i thought a little change might work, and after all my worries and initial moaning i think this PE stuff "ain't too bad", don't think i could cope with loads of it like you and others on here seem to successfully use on a kit though.
