The plaster rocks are great Phil, have you thought about a short photo tutorial in the tips section?

Thanks again Adam :D

Not sure if I really need to do a SBS, it's extremely simple. Just mix up the plaster in a container of choice, add some pigments, let it dry and then crumble the result into suitably sized chunks. That's really all there is to it.

I'll give it a go on my next build. Just realized how important it is to dye the base product (in my case Das) as it shows through the paint if it cracks! :(

As a final step I added a layer of pigments onto the sand. That should hide any problems?

Thanks Adam :D

I reworked the figure a little, still not perfect but at least no really obvious problems anymore...at least none you can see with bare eyes, of course the camera is less merciful... :roll: :lol:

Ahh figures :shock:

The arch nemesis of the armour modeler :roll: 8-)

Good Looking scenario Philipp :D

Figures are not easy and heads are a challenge, but Herman's cousin looks OK, he really completes the scenario :D

Very nice one Philipp ;)

Thank you Steve :D

Let's call him Herbert :lol:

The face was almost easier to get "right" than the uniform....not that it would look that way on the photos :oops:

Time to get better with that before I start on the dioramas that need a lot more of them :? :lol:

The build is done, the pictures are done too and float down to NZ as I write this. A little preview:

I don't think this kit really needs a summary - it's Tamiya, it's still great and it was a lot of fun.

Thanks everyone who rode along, see you on the next build 8-)
