Nice, one guy with a little tattoo ...I've yet to try that on a figure. I'm still sorting out beards and moustaches.

It sorta looks like one guy finally 'broke down' and is now radioing for directions..."you see, the thing about the desert is, it's always changing. And the thing about my map is, it doesn't change at all..."

Hi John.

Well, you know my opinion about this build. The Pink Panther is my favorite, so will try to be impartial on my reply.

The general weathering on the Landy is great, and the dry brush is a nice touch. All the bags and other complements are scratch build, so great point too ;) . And the base are different, (my last one was just a few sand and some little stone), and with the posed figures looks really natural and calm scene. ;)

There is only a mistake, a big one, and sorry but I can tolerate on a modeller with your skills.....

What is a "pinCCCk panther"? :smiling3: :smiling3: :smiling3:

Great build John!!

Hope you will do another fantastic Landy soon ;)

Regards

Polux

Thanks Alan for your kind comments, the realistic sand IS sand mixed with PVA glue, i got a 15kg bag of play sand from Argos £2.99.

somtimes it's damp so it will need to be dryed first.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Polux for all you'r kind comments, as for the Pink maybe it's the light in the photo as i tool it out back in bad light.

To look at in real life it is a very light pink, my aim was to give the affect of Pinkie that has been on a long range patrol, battered & warn covered in sand after being through one or two sand storms.

Sorry iff this one did not come up to you'r expectation as we all know this is you'r favorite Landy.

I will try to do better next time (iust for you).

Have fun

John

Righto, time to waffle.

Lovely work John, you and vehicles do have a certain chemistry with each other, really excellent results you always seem to create. I like this, from too pink to rugged and knackered, just right. The excess baggage (superb scratch building) enhances the look of the Landy and the simple sand and block base is just perfect for showcasing the model and figures. Overall I think it is a top build and visually pleasing your focus is attracted to the figures and vehicle instead of the background, you want to know why is the Landy's bonnet up, what are the guys upto, have they broken down or just resting...questions. So excellent and a perfect 'Pinkie.'

Si...thinks he knows what he's on about...in truth, knows nowt.

Why, someone being sticking their nose in regarding the use of more up to date weaponry...tell em to mind their own bees-wax.:rolleyes:

Well, the Landy needed a break and of course, no matter what era the British Squaddie is in, he also needs to stop for a brew.
