Here's some pictures I took this morning of the BTR-70 APC I made recently now out on patrol.
Yes I know I've nicked the base from another diorama but it seemed the easiest option as I just wanted to 'Test' the digital camouflage.
Some of the wheels are flying too!

So here it is about to disgorge the troops in the ruins of a Middle Eastern town.

astonishing, astounding, surprising, bewildering, stunning, staggering, shocking, startling, stupefying, breathtaking, perplexing, confounding,

Now we know how effective digital camo can be! That BTR looks good on its own, but in it's natural setting it's great.

What a great bunch of blokes you are!
Thank you all for your most excellent, complimentary and yes indeed, humorous comments.
They make for one superb start to my day. I doubt it could get any better.

I tried to wait for a luuurvely blue sky, just like the original diorama I nicked the base from but it was not to be, so I had to revert to a big piece of card for the photos background.

Hello Matron, yes I know I've been up all night on my computer, but I'm so excited reading all....... Why should I go to sleep? Hang on my cereal tastes funny, have you been adding anyth.........ZZZZZ

That Matron you got must be pretty scary Ron. There's no-one on the forum that's been able to catch you out - and the Gods know we've been trying for long enough!
