Many thanks to those that followed and gave me support along the way. To receive the kind words from guys as talented as you makes me very happy indeed.
This is now finished with a very simple base. I may revisit it later and do something more detailed but I am quite happy as it is.





Thanks everyone.
Scottie

Hi mate, I like that figure, will suit it nicely. And I'm with the guys one the groundwork, kudos to you for trying out something new but it looks a bit odd indeed.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

thanks mate. It did look odd so as you see I decided against it. perhaps another time.

 

[Steve Jones]

As I said before mate probably one of your best builds ever. I am so pleased you had a lot of fun with this model. Looking forward to your next adventure enormously. Well done sir!

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Superb job ,Paul, absolutely top notch!

Wonderful build, and the guy with the cup of tea just makes it better.

Very nice Paul.

I think the simplicity of the base highlights the truck even more, which is as it should be, and what it deserves, IMHO.

Congratulations on a great build. It combines realism with a more abstract presentation which really works well. Slaving to be realistic all the time often detracts from many models.

Hi Scottie
Well I've thoroughly enjoyed following this build. The result is outstanding. The vehicle and the figure are superb. You should be very proud of what you have achieved. As for the base - good for you in trying something different but the simple presentation you ended up with works a treat
Whatever finds its way next onto your bench this will be a hard act to follow.

Jim, very many thanks for the high praise and for the continuing support.

Great stuff Scottie. The simple base works a treat.

Thank you Peter I think your right about the base

I'm with PaulE. Always go with something that is different from everything else. Push the boundaries. Start a new craze. If anything just put the model more central and it would be perfect. I know you like to play down your figure work but I think he's great. Terrific work all round my friend

Excuse us Paul. Steve you would have it on a base with a mirror under it . Now there's an idea Paul.

Certainly doesn't need much of a background for a dio, perhaps a muddy track running at an angle with grass at the sides.

John, if I do put this on another base in the future that is along the lines I would look at.

The Scammel looks great on the simple base Paul, the squaddie in typical pose sets it off nicely.
