Thanks chaps, Paul the grass is a custom mix I have in an old tamiya jar & is a mix of tamiya flat green, yellow green and some other colours I can't remember. The paint gets adjusted on every base!

Finally the model & base are all done, I started this in December! A very long build but very enjoyable as I've discovered loads of little things I never knew about the chally 2 whilst building it. The goal was to build a standard chally 2 and enhance the kit as much as possible which I think I've achieved. The paint scheme was another choice I was honestly not sure about but after seeing them at work felt it would really stand out especially at model shows. Glad I went for it as it looks awesome. Hope you all enjoyed the build and thanks for all your excellent comments. More pics in the gallery.
