Hey There Bish, Well, I might be a bit belated but, I still need to heap a load of accolades on you for such a marvelous piece of modeling.

Your 251 and anti tank gun look terrific. Your weathering is extremely well done. It's actually along the lines of how I would like to weather my armor kits when I get around to building them. I really like the effect you have achieved with your pigment technique.

Your figures are very impressive to me. You've certainly got a sound knack for painting them. 

As for your base and overall presentation, well, it is simply fantastic. Not only is the base itself very well done, the setting and presentation work perfectly.

You have yet again set a rather high bar for quality technique and skill. It always a pleasure to watch you builds as well as getting some outstanding information and insight. Thanks also for piqueing my interest in the 251 half track. I now have a couple of AFV Club kits as well as a couple of Squdron/Signal books due fully to your amazing build.

Thank You Very Much Bish. It's been a real pleasure.

Cheers, Joe

Well, thank you very much Joe, its much appreciated. Its taken me quite a few years to get my weathering to how i want it and to be able to vary it from build to build. I try and do each one differently depending on the history of the unit and the vehicle, wheter its spent months rolling across the Russian steppe or its fairly new out of the factory. But its really all donw to what i have learnt from others on here, people like Bill Plunk, SMJ, Karl Logan and otehrs. So if i can pass some of that on on to others, i think it helps to pay the debt i owe to them.

And i look forwardto seeing you build some armour especially those 251's.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
