What's on the Bench 2024

How about dirt/patch of tall grass swept in a fan pattern away from prop wash?

[Andy T]

That's an idea. I hadn't even thought about plants with it being the desert, but that might work well. Thanks.

Maybe I'll expand on Scotties suggestion too and have a couple of guys sheltering behind the second container (if there's room)

Andy. It's quite amazing what you have created here. As regards the dust cloud. Grab the nearest person you can find with a Vape. Get them to blow the smoke over the model while you snap a few pictures for the album. Job done.

[Andy T]

That would be me lol

Thats an absolute cracker

Im a beleiver in less is more.....other than some bush or plants i dont think it needs anything.....there wouldnt be troops around....what about a vehicle thats been dropped or is next to be picked up?.....got the straps on ready......or a cargo net full of little stuff?.......on the edge of the base to break up the 'emptiness'

[Andy T]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've already scratch built a pallet and a cargo net should be easy enough. I just need to find / make some items to populate them as most of my stowage stuff is 1/35.

mottling done with a tiny bit of sponge held in tweezers

Not too impressed and already thinking of better methods but then thiswas always meant to be a test mule to try ideas

[PaulTRose]

Decals on.....some more assembly to do before a coat of matt

[Tim Marlow]

Well I’ve finally got to the end of these little blokes. Don’t know why they took so long, but I was glad to get them off my bench…….


Hope they are up to standard. I’ll post some more pictures in the relevant forum, along with a calibration shot. ?
