Completed 51st RTR 1945

Thanks for looking.
Its been a while since I put knife to plastic, so I wanted to do something straight out of the box.
As usual this plan has died a death, and so instead I present my 51st Royal Tank trooper.
An Alpine body with a weary looking Hornet head mounted on a Tamiya Churchill tank.
Any comments or advice is always welcomed.

Thanks as always for the overwhelming response.
Made a bit of headway on the base.

Excellent painting on the Churchill, Paul - like your interpretation of SCC15 Khaki Drab.

Lol. Thanks.
I’ll try and do some this weekend, but DIY keeps getting in the way.

Small progress being made.

 

[Chris Oldfield]

Excellent brushwork on the face & beret, Paul.

Thankfully the British weather has kept me indoors all weekend.

That’s a great finish Paul, the colour of the KD shorts & the jumper is spot on with excellent highlights & shading.
The flesh tones & blending are the best I’ve seen on a 1/35 scale figure - super job!

 

[Viking Bob]

Blimey, that's looking superb, very nice painting.
