Looking forward to the base Andy, my Vietnam Sheridan has stalled at that stage; I also bought FoG 'jungle foliage' but, to be honest, it hasn't worked for me - I must overcome this lockdown idleness and start work on the paper variants. Good luck, once again looking forward to seeing the end result!........ and a few more!!!.....

Apologies for the repetative nature,but it`s very nearly there!
Just to be finished properly when on it`s base..... which is under way...... allbeit very slowly!!
Thanks for looking in,as always,all thoughts/insults very welcomed!!
Andy
Thanks Andy,much appreciatedNow that is very, very nice.
Andy.
Cheers Paul,Love the poses. Snorkle is a great touch, perfect for those sojourns through flooded rice paddies.
Hi Steve,Looking forward to the base Andy, my Vietnam Sheridan has stalled at that stage; I also bought FoG 'jungle foliage' but, to be honest, it hasn't worked for me - I must overcome this lockdown idleness and start work on the paper variants. Good luck, once again looking forward to seeing the end result!

Thanks very much Tim,Very nice finish! Love the contrast between the paint sheen and the foliage.
I've cheated a little and intend to include a seated Buddha on a stone base to take up a big chunk of real estate! I also have laser-cut foliage (Fredericus Rex) which, as you say, is expensive but hopefully the end result will justify the outlay! The Buddha cost about £3.50 from a 'Mind, Body and Spirit' shop!Hi Steve,
The base is going to be a bit of a fight for me i reckon,I can see in my mind`s eye what i want to do.......but actually getting it to look like it in reality is a different matter!!
As for the FoG foliage,i see what you`re saying,but i`m hoping i can get it to represent a very dense area.I have one set of lazer cut paper plants which i`ll use in the foreground,but they`re quite expensive,so doing the whole base with them would`ve cost a small fortune!!

HA!! What a coincidence!!.......I've cheated a little and intend to include a seated Buddha on a stone base to take up a big chunk of real estate!

Cheers Mark ,Good amount of detail, that's a great looking tank.
Sorry Neil,missed you there!Ooooh NICE!
I saw this last night on my phone but waited to see the pics on the PC- and well worth the wait it is!
Looking forward to the base
Weeell, lets both do it! More than one Sheridan and more than one Buddha in country! OOrah!HA!! What a coincidence!!.......
..... I actually saw a Stone Buddha statue on a base when i was searching FoG Models site for the plants,i considered using one for the same purpose as you!!
I didn`t get one in the end,which i`m glad about now....... it would`ve looked like i nicked your idea other wise!!..... I must admit,the do look rather good mind!!
Andy
P.S. Another coincidence..... A Sheridan was going to be my next build!!...... But I recently acquired a "Duster",and i decided to do that instead!
Cheers Rick ,Andy, just had a "catch up".......last time I visited, you were still painting the Figs. This has gone a long way and just looks the bomb. I'd say you have half the battle won if you can visualize what you want for a base.
I'm looking forward to seeing what develops. Rick H.
