I really need to finish the two projects I have going, therefore I decided to start another hee hee
The Italeri M4 is dated and molded slick so I added some Dragon parts, an Aber 76mm metal barrel, and did the old putty trick to rough it up some

Turned out so

Tammy Cromwell is a superb kit that really does not need any extras

Basic layout

Still have some stuff in transit from the Ukraine. Should end up with about twenty figures or so should plans go accordingly

Thank you gents
I've spent the last several bench sessions scraping, filing, and filling figures. Have the Cromwell done now with the exception of dirt

All the figures, gonna take awhile to wade thru them all

Looks like I got one more seam on the horse's neck.

Cromwell looks great Mark! That's a lot of figures Mark! OK, I get the dudes cut in half for the tank but the armless decapitated lady should make an interesting scene!

Thanks gents figures can make or break a diorama, we'll see how it looks. I figure they'll add to the project but as said we'll see.
Jeff lots of figures ain't as bad as...broken long bones, kidneystones....I need practice on them anyway
OJ well occasional German brutality was well known
Regards,
Mark

Thanks gents
Moving along slow, here's where it's at
 001 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr
I've not dirtied the Sherman yet as I'll be handling it when installing the crew. Project's down to 19 human figures now, I got the incomplete lady together, painted her about 75% done, and tried her where I'd planned to put her.
 002 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr
She stuck out like a sore thumb; did not fit the scene at all so she'll go into the future possibilities locker.
The dog and the horse I am hopeful about but they are quite difficult to paint in a realistic manner we will see if I'm up to it
Regards, Mark |

Thanks gents
Have not been doing much at the bench lately, not been over interested as happens from time to time. One day soon I'll look at it and get the urge again, perhaps sooner than later as it was 10 degrees when I got up this morning
Regards,
Mark
