Jean-Louis Durand
Nice build and nice painting work.

Mr James
Thank you Jean-Louis. It was my first Allied vehicle.

Pietro De Angelis
Very nice!

Mr James
Cheers Pietro. My first building too... although unfinished 🙂

Edouard Carr
Nice job well done!

another bob
Really a nice job. The encrusted mud and added texture adds so much realism and interesting detail to the model.

Joachim P.
Fantastic atmosphere, and a great aged and weathered Willy. Very nice!

Doubtingmango
Great build James! The mud effect is spot on.

Bruce Huxtable
Superb in all areas! Inspirational work for sure 👍

Mr James
Well thank you mates.
@Edouard I'm glad you liked it.
@Another bob, @Doubtingmango- I've only just added the crusty mud after recently buying EMNL 2.0 binder from VMS. I'm sure proper modeller's know about stuff like this but its new to me. Brilliant product.
@Joachim, I've seen other builds using dark backgrounds so I've tried to copy them 🙂
@Bruce. Thanks for your kind words Bruce.

Simon Nagorsnik
Yes, a classic one, but a really good one😁
Weathering looks good👍

Even though the building is left over from an unfinished project, it is excellent as a backdrop!

Mr James
Well thank you very much for saying so Simon. I must get round to finishing that building; along with all the other stuff I've started. Dont know if it's just me, but I cant seem to start and finish one project at a time. I get bored or see better built versions and start something else... 🙂

Rui S
Great paint job & weathering.great figure painting too 👍
P.s. Did you use flash on the photos?

Mr James
Many thanks Rui. Greatly appreciated from your good self. 🙂

Neuling
Very good work. Using the Eduard detail kit really paid off. 👍

Mr James
Thanks Neuling. Praise indeed. I agree that the Eduard set, just adds a few nice details to this old kit.

Mr James
Hi Rui. No flash was used. I just turned all the lights off and used a little desk lamp as a light source. I use my Samsung camera phone for the pics. The black background is a black carboard box from a Revell X-wing kit.
Not very professional, I know... 🙂

Mathias Decommere
Nice debute of allied vehicles

Simon Nagorsnik
I know how you feel about the unfinished things.
Think that's one of the big problems that affect us modelers 😉
I'm currently trying to redesign and finish one of my last 1/35 projects... is also a MiniArt building...

In any case, good luck with your old projects!

Mr James
Thanks Mattias. much appreciated

Mr James
Cheers Simon. Glad to hear its not just me then... 🙂

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Mr James
Cheers Villiers, glad you like it

Mr James
Cheers Xa Char

Guy Rump
Great job, I really like the weathering and in particular the windscreen grime. The figure is very impressive. 👍

Mr James
Cheers Guy. I've only painted a handful of figures, but this is my fav little plastic man so far 🙂

Mr James
Thanks Billy and others for your likes

Mr James
cheers Neil, much appreciated

Mr James
Cheers Conner, glad you liked it

Neil Patrick
Lovely. I like the space around the subject. Tamiya get a lot of stick for their older figures, and I guess they are a bit hit and miss, but this fellow is perfect IMHO and really suits the subject.

Nathan Dempsey
Great work all around. You gave that figure some personality.

Mr James
Thanks for your comments Neil. Your right about some of the older Tamiya figures, some look like jelly moulds 🙂 As you say, I think this fella has decent details though, which I've tried to bring out.

Mr James
Cheers Nathan. Much appreciated.

Spanjaard
Excellent job, in black and white, the picture would look like reference from the periodic

Mr James
Ha, cheers Spanjaard. It didn't cross my mind. I'll have a mess about and post some B&W pics 👍

Neil Patrick
Plus I meant to also say that the paint job is really great too!

Stephen Lesley
Wow! What a beautiful finish and weathering. Absolutely spot on. Great setting as well.

Mr James
Well, thank you for saying so Stephen.

Mr James
A couple of pics in vintage B&W.
