Whole chunks of real life...scaled down, figures in all scales...even footballers!

A small anti-tank gun scene

Post by JohnRatzenberger »

Somewhere in NW Europe, an anti-tank gun sits astride a small road, the crew and gun ready because it appears that whatever made those tracks is coming back ....

From a review I just completed, for AMPS: http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/revi ... 07&Type=FB; . The kit is by Riich Models, in 1/35 scale.

Very Nice. Simple and straight forward. Some other modellers might make this over complicated or too fussy.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Thank you, all.

I scored some shoulder sleeve decals and the figures are properly attired now.

I managed to get a Silver medal in Vignettes, Intermediate skill, at the AMPS International Convention this weekend. I sill have a lot to learn about figures, sculpting and painting.

Lovely work John and very atmospheric. One can almost feel the tension.

That is very impressive John. You can almost feel the tension in the scene. Bravo.
