The Churchill although typically in drab Allied colours is nonetheless a beast of a tank, both my other 'tanks' have camo etc. so I am leaving this one bereft of such stuff, again most photos show them, like the Panthers, without a lot of clutter on them. I do still have to paint the commander, but he will have to wait until tomorrow, then both will get a spray of varnish and hey presto, ready for action.
As I said above I was away at the weekend for a Clan gathering, if you can call fifteen adults and three weans a gathering, we were in a large rambling house on the edge of Coniston Water where Donald Campbell attempted to beat his own world speed record and tragically died in the process. I won't bore you with all the family stuff, suffice it to say it was a great three days of banter, laughter, singing, drinking and eating.

Other than the beard, you pretty much look like that now! Are you wearing the famous Scottish undergarments????
ReplyDeleteCommunist lies Toone! And I know you will be disappointed, but no.
DeleteThat's a mean looking piece of flak, nicely done too. In V2 it may actually be effective in its primary role now as well.Gotta love the old Churchill a handsome tank in an ugly looking way.
ReplyDeleteI am at the stage now where if I add anything else to the armies it will be because I like it rather than need it. I would have liked the Pz38(t) Flak as 2nd Panzer had them but no one does a model at the moment. It had to be a Churchill, I am trying to keep away from Shermans. Thanks Phil.
DeleteYour Bolt Action collection has grown most impressively George! I really like the Churchill.
