Excellent finish Bish! I really like your weathering and base on this build. Everything looks just right. 

 

You are oh so right about memory and time marching on making things fuzzy.

I also agree with the other comments on the completed build! Excellent, as per your usual work. Although you have created some other wonderful dios, I particularly like this understated one. A simple base and a little grass - perfect! Cheers! I'll drink my next Boddington's in celebration of your latest.

Cheers guys.

Carlos, ain't that the truth.

M1, while i do like doing the dio's, i do enjoy ones like this as i can relax a bit and not have to worry about figures and a large base.

Cheers, and enjkoy the Boddy.

Great build! The pigments look great and the tank and goes nice with the base. How did you get the grass to stand upwards in tufts? When I apply grass I do it by hand and tends to lay flat. Do you buy premade tufts? Or do you use the static grass applicators to get it upwards?

Very well done, Bish!

One quick question, is that felt on the bottom of the base?

Thanks guys.

Kien, i use a mix of woodlan scenics flock, some of which does stand and Greenland grass tufts, which come in a mix of sizes.

Bruce, yes it is. Its a bit thick for my likeing. I prefer to use a material that similar to that used on pool tables which i used to be able to buy in rols from a local DIY store. But they seem to have stopped selling it.

Fabulous!

A high bar as I would expect you to have positioned it.

Taking notes. I must pay more attention to details/research, etc.

Thanks Mike. I did have an adfvantage with tis one in that i have seen them close up in action. But i also found a lot of photo's on Prime Portal to be really useful.

Looks good in the field Bish! 

Personally I think even a simple base looks better than plonking the model down on a table. I may have to try some small bases like you use for my aircraft too.

Thanks G, and i agree. I don't have a single model thats not on a base of some kind. If for no other reason it means i don't have to handle the kit.
