Cheers Robbo Ok..........Heavy machine gun painted and dry fitted plus a little bit more weathering on the turret.........still more to do yet Crew members standing by ..........i swapped out the Tamiya heads for Hornet US WWII Tank crew ones from Historex (ain`t exactly cheap but 100% better with the detail).........the bodies are Tams and i`ll just use these as a practice run for now
Cheers all

Thanks Pete Ok......my first dude is done and in. he`s good enough as far as i`m concerned as most of his torso is hidden and just needs a splash of colour really
All the straps on the helmet have been picked out but my camera won`t let me take close up shots without blurring (no macro facility ).......the bigger pics show it a lot clearer
Driver next..........he just needs torso done as does the remaining one for the turret
Thanks chaps

Pete and Paul........thanks again chaps Ok.........No2 dude in place and No3 finished for what i need........the lower half is just a token paint up and i might just tweek the upper, it`s not glossy by the way.......just the camera playing tricks ......once again double clicking the image will make up for the lack of macro and the last dude....not the greatest of pic but best i can do Thats a big chunk done for me with the turret and figs thanks to the Chrimbo hols......back to work tomorrow , at least now the bulk of the work is done.....the rest is purely cosmetic

Boots I don't know what we'd be laughing at; your figures and faces are magnificent! Far better than I could possibly do. Way to go man!
