Work in progress!
Posted by sasd on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 4:01 PM
Picture a British Cromwell ARV standing watch over a bridge,a Redcap directing traffic to the bridge and a British halft with crew passing through the situation on it`s way to the front. The ARV and the halftrack are both done with minor adjustments still to come,I still have to put together the Redcap MP and do the dio. The ARV is represented here with markings from the Welsh Guards
and the halftrack is from the 7th Armoured Div. The dio will be coming shortly.











Many thanks to Bugsy for the pics!

Great job on the weathering! And I really like the way you've got the half track crew in such realistic and relaxed poses and not all stiff-backed...looking forward to seeing the finished dio.

Thanks for the comments guys, not much in the weathering has been done to them at this point,a wash of black,burnt umber,white glue and water mix was applied overall and then a drybrushing of a sandstone colour overall. Pastels or pigments yet to come.
The seated crew was made from all of the bent legs in the Brit soldiers kits from Dragon. Some cuttin was neccessary on the butt end but because they were seated against a backrest it wasn`t too important. They proved to be quite worthy poses in the end,lol! Most of the heads were from a company called Wolf.
