Thanks chaps I've had so much fun building this. Still waiting on antennas which i suspect will arrive next week so as usual my search for suitable figures has begun. And as usual there are none that will suit my purposes or time scale of the model. Most if not all available figures of modern Brit crews have the osprey body armour which was superseded by the virtus system in 2015. The miniart british crew set looks good but again they are just in coveralls and as almost every tank I've seen at work & in pictures have the crew wearing body armour, especially when on exercise I'll have to get the magic sculpt out.
However the virtus body armour looks to be less bulky than the osprey system so shouldn't be too difficult to sculpt hopefully!

I sure am amazed by this kind of research and knowledge of tanks, uniforms etc.... Reading about your search for the correct figures makes me feel blissed with ignorance.... means I can use any figures on any tank...

Oh man, you can no longer be called a Master my friend! With detail like this done so exceptionally well it's time to call you a Grand Master! Like Bert said, I never knew half of these things exited on this tank; and your figure research? Wow, I am overwhelmed!
I bow in the presence of greatness! (We really need a bowing emoticon!)

(We really need a bowing emoticon!) but how deep do we have to bow? Will this be enough? Or should it be like this?
