Man this one is turning out great!! Figures are one area of modeling that literally scares the crap out of me so hats off to you on a good job on those. I hear what you're saying about photo shots. Sometimes they seem to bring out the worst in everything.
Re: AFV Club Rommel's Mammoth (captured Dorchester)
I've been wanting to get better and figure painting. I've ordered a 1/16 figure to practice on, a few years ago at a IPMS show they had a seminar on figure painting and his advice was to practice on a bigger scale to learn the basics then you can shrink that knowledge down.

Thank you Duke, I think it's the best diorama I've built so far.

Sorry to drag this one up Floki but I'm building the same vehicle and am nearing the paint stage...I'm curious what you used for the cream colored paint- the lightest shade?

Re: AFV Club Rommel's Mammoth (captured Dorchester)
No problem Jeeves, I'm happy to help as much as I can. First the color the British used was called "Light Stone 61" I think several paint brands make that color but I spray acrylics and use Tamiya and AK Real Colors. Tamiya doesn't make the color but luckily AK does.

I order from him all the time he's a great guy.
Now for what I used a few years ago before AK came out with this Real Color line I mixed up a big jar of British Light Stone 61 to use for future British armor projects.
My mix is 1 entire jar of Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow and 1 entire bottle of Tamiya XF-2 Flat White. Then eyeballed more XF-2 Flat White I want to say about 25-30 drops more to this mix until I liked the look of the color. You can reduce that down by using equal parts XF-60 and XF-2 then add a bit more XF-2 to that until you like the color.
