The colour I used was Vallejo olive drab darkened with a wash. The initial idea was to have the tank look wet overall as if it had been raining,but the miracle podge that I used left thick streaks,not a desireable effect so resprayed it flat.

That's a great looking dio. The Churchill is first rate. The painting is excellent. What colors did you use?

I have to agree with the last two guys, the ground work is excellent. Coming from a house where my dad loved train layouts, I think my bedtimes story went something like,"Then spread the grassy turf over the glue. Now find some roots in the backyard for a bush..." Blush [:I]

Anyway Excellent work.

Thanks very much for your comments guys,not exactly one of my best talents Ali1kj,I actualy tried converting a German Shepard to a sheep,I can convert vehicles but beings
of this planet,not gonna happen! Couldnot find one at our local modelshop either.
As for your question J-Hulk I currently have at home for local display purposes 70 vignettes, have sold 10 others and have donated a museum full to a local military museum in our city. Guess you could say I have a few built.lol!
