Thank you knox. :)
I've been making slow progress with this build so far. I just keep getting lost in the cockpit lol. So as I was trying to mount the gunner's sight I knocked off his mic and never noticed. No worries though as I've already replaced it. A little paint and it should be good as new.
The figs are specifically painted with high contrast for scale reduction. If I take the photo slightly out of focus they appear perfectly shaded. Actually all you have to do is look at it from any distance and they look great. These macro pics are harsh on scale effects lol.
I will be posting more WiP pics when I make more progress. :)
