Got three projects going on- first up the Defiant for an RAF build...

Then added a filter of rain marks and the like to the Renault...

And I started a vignette with a bit of a twist. Was looking through the stash and noticed the bearded fellows in the Tamiya LRDG Command Car look strikingly similar to the Tier One Operative in the Meng Technical kit. So I decided to make a split vignette...a wall in the center and on one side, the LRDG car and crew all done in B&W...including the wall and terrain. The other side will be the Technical and operative with everything that side in color. Started on the Command Car:

I think the most challenging part is going to be the figures...vehicle is pretty monotone overall...and dust can be replicated with a thin layer of gray...but making these guys look realistic will be a trial I think...

Not much modeling this weekend as I spent it instead buying, cutting, and staining lumber for these shelves-

Now I can finally get the shop cleared out and have more space to spread out!

Spent the morning riding my bike in the battlefield and felt inspired to work on terrain. First up is the base for the FT-17...

After that was more work on the base for the b&w/color diorama... quite happy with the color side based on the reference pic I'm using...

And the brick on the b&w seems a bit blah...might do the stucco halfway up like the reference pic...
