Wow Alan! Until I saw the Marder on there I had no idea of the scale of the thing - that field puts Wembley to shame!

[monica]

to me it looks very good, I like it like that :rolleyes: is a fence running acoss the back at all ,or is it just like in a field ? because if you did a fence you would have add rail/post

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Monica I was going put a fence up but it would be blocked by the tanks

I've painted to of the footballers today but I'll post pics tomorrow to get better light

Cheers joe I'm pleased you like it
First footballers now painted

 

[monica]

great work Alan, , been a long hard match by the look off these chaps :P , must say nice work on the black shorts, as i think black the hardest color to paint,:rolleyes:

 

[Alan 45]

Thank you Monica I appreciate that

I agree black is the worst colour to paint if you don't get the right shade of grey for the highlights you have to do it again

 

[Alan 45]

Now I have more on the dio I have taken a beauty shot View attachment 80666
