Some of these have been posted before but I recently finished painting the rest of the section, so took a quick group shot. These are finished except for some static grass on a couple of the figures' bases. Criticism welcomed. :)

Cracking stuff - I think we need a close shot of the tank to fully appreciate the paint job.
My only suggestion would be to tone down the green on the edge of the bases, maybe go with a more subtle brown/sand like the colours you've used on the top. I realise basing is a personal preference; I don't like the slotta 'plinth' style bases myself, I like my troops to blend with the table as much as possible which is why I use coins for bases.
Keep them coming!

Excellent work

Many thanks. I am painting another of the tanks so I will post some close ups then (I should also have received a tripod for my camera by then, which will help - hopefully! - as the ones I attempted now were fairly blurry, sadly).
I realise the bases are not to everyone's taste but I intend these to be used either on Venus or in an England Invaded scenario, so green edges is a must. I may try a more subdued shade, though. I came into the hobby through 40K and Games Workshop in the mid-90s though, so I do have a thing for bright green slotta bases......
Thanks for the kind comments. It is very encouraging in terms of getting more done! :)

Great stuff, definitely need another tank photo :)

I thought they might end up as company identifiers...
Can't think of a single suggestion; pretty sure I've already added you to my list of hated competence. Bask in my baleful abhorrence. ;)

I know Armorcast had similar, and I'm always getting them confused.

Many thanks. And, the green bases is a sickness, but I just can't seem to stop!

It is certainly the Eureka Light Steam Charger. A nice and cheap little resin model. I am in Australia though, so shipping is not too bad, but I think Eureka have distributors in the UK and the USA also.
As said, better pics of the tank, and her sister, in a week or two.

I've never heard a complaint on shippage to the US; while not quite matching Jon Tuffley's cross-briny wormhole, speedy delivery and reasonable rates on the goods appear to be a hallmark of Nik and crew.
That said, everybody producing material for sale have interesting comments about trans-border hurdles they have to jump. So far, of late, Royal Mail seems to be getting the most, no matter which direction the items are taking.

No criticicism deserved! Excellent work, sir!

Thanks for the kind comments. I will post up some more shots of the tank in a week or two when I can. I will also try out a darker green for the bases and see what people think.
Thanks again. The nice comments are good motivation to get more done!

Sorry, was that a week or two, or a month or two?
Somebody give Warburton a nudge... ;)

Very nice unit - looks all set to bring civilization to the "heathen" Martians.

Thank you, I was hoping nobody would notice! Real life has intervened and the tank has been 90% finished for about 6 weeks now.
I will try to get it done soonish!

No one has to explain about Real Life (tm) to me; it's RL that causes me to pester you into distracting me. 'Bugger off...' perfectly apropos reply, ol' bean.
