Way to go Portman! That is a brilliant idea and everything is looking great! Your Vickers looks sharp and well built, but I have to admit; I've always thought that the Vickers was the ugliest tank going!

Looking forward to seeing more.

I've managed to make some progress - the vickers has been painted and decaled and I've stripped and primed two of the figures in clear.

Next job is to matt coat and weather the Vickers and paint the figures.

That looks very nice! Great work on the tank. Whose CD did you sacrifice? Please say it was Justin Bieber? Please?

Nice tank Stuart. And did I spot a Mathilda in the background?

Hi guys - Sorry this build progressed quciker than I could take photos and is now finished - here are some progress pic's...

Had an issue with the matt coat :headslap:

But thankfully got it sorted with the help of some washing up liquid, hot water and a new application of gloss.
