Wow, I keep looking at that and the detail is so good, what an excellent job you're doing!
Many thanks Steve.

Looking good John, really like the cast texture on the hull.
Hi Paul, that was really worth doing with the Tamiya grey filler, I was most impressed :nerd:

Updates are nice JR. Tank looks good
Thanks Lee.:thumb2:

That groundwork is looking better and better. That cast texture really shows well under your neat paint job.
Thanks Jim, used a set of AK 3RD GEN American colours , the Russians hadn't time to respray in 4BO :disappointed:

Ha ha 570 :smiling3:, could you refrain from feeding them please. They are rowdy enough with out fighting over who has the popcorn.;).

....a little more salt please....
Paul unfortunately the popcorn is sugar coated, I could ask my learned friend @spanner570 to obtain some of the one you like if required. :thumb2:

No wonder it tasted weird. There's peppercorn, cheesecorn, carmelcorn, & popcorn has butter & salt, but who puts sugar?

Did some highlights.

Need to tone down the one in the center on the upper hull .

Taken just after the reeds on the bed were glued down .
Although that very dark AK mud was right for the rich soil I thought it too dark.This will have another much lighter coat at some point .
Thanks for looking in, comments welcome .

Evening John,
Very much like the base, it’s coming along nicely and the paint job on the M3…. Looks awesome :thumb2:
Many thanks Si, think its the best armour I've managed to spray.

Yet another coat of paint on the base, still need to make some track marks behind as you will see.

Tracks added, there was a gap at the point where they are, no idea why ? Now will be painted.

No tracks in the bank, so these will need to be added.

Going to pick out some stones tomorrow.
Thanks for looking in . JR

I have been sitting up top with Ron. I hate the smell of popcorn.
The Diorama is looking very nice indeed. I am glad I am not the only one that saw the first ground work and thought "Oh! Cake!" lol
That is literally a bus load of figures you have there.

Its all coming together now. Great work Mr Ewing.

Thanks Ian. :smiling2:Have to admit that rich earth was a little over the top, mind you the soil in the fens can look that colour as Paul @scottie3158 can testify.

Thanks Jim, just taking it one step at a time.
