Thanks Tony, I love the building stage which I'm not to bad at but the painting stage I hate and still have no confidence in what I do, more luck than judgment I'm afraid :oops:

Ohh same here Pete, when I see a mistake on a part, just add some sprue glue, Squad G, or get out the sanders, but with paint... arrgg it seems so hard to do. Once its down its done.

Awesome job with the painting!

I love the figures - it looks like the commander just cracked a joke at the expense of the driver :D

Hi onto the detail painting

These are the paints I used

All my models are hand painted

I'm afraid I have not taken pictures of the decal stage :bash:

I'v done the tank in the markings of the
!4th Armour Brigade, Ariel Sharron "Bison" Division June 1967

14th "Machatz/Bison" Armor Brigade is a Reserve Division
The brigade was active during the War of Attrition when it split to provide the basis for the 401st Armoured Brigade. During the Yom Kippur War, it was initially an armored reserve supporting the infantry brigades holding the Bar-Lev Line. It suffered terrible casualties during the war but was rebuilt afterwards

No Tommy I'm most certainly not, I'm my own worst critic, nobody on this forum or another for that fact could insult my painting as much as I do and I have plenty of Facebook, so no :cheers2:
