Fantastic! The caunter scheme really looks good on this! I also like the transparent windows, it's not something that's seen often in the wargaming world!

The addition of the Bren-gunner is really cool!

Beautiful, they compliment each other. Tamiya may be scratching their heads soon wondering why the Tilly kit is suddenly flying off the shelves in vast numbers.

Compared with the Company B one the Tamiya one is certainly closer to the real thing I feel. Especially when given the Capt Blood treatment.

That's a lot more 'Afrika Korps Desert Yellow' than my one.
Think that had a post-war repaint ;)
Apparently the early Tigers used in North Africa were painted in a distinctively greeny-sand colour which I've tried to capture on mine.
It's probably completely wrong though...

Never.
What would be the point?  ;)

Meanwhile, here is the entire vehicle park so far... Somewhat crammed in together to fit them in the picture!
That's 19 vehicles/AFVs so far, 11 painted by Brent (Queeg) and 8 by me...



The Germans...

As you can see, on the vehicles Brent painted, there's a nice consistency of tone and colour - somewhat spoiled by the mish mash of hues and effects I've added with the vehicles I've painted   ::)





The British





As you can also see, the British are somewhat outgunned as things stand, especially if we include that Tiger tank.

I'm therefore going to add a Blitzkrieg Matilda and Humber A/C to the British forces - and then THAT IS IT. (No, really).

Well, for the time being anyway...

Wow, now that is a spectacle.
Thanks for the show - looking forward to the Matilda, although she won't even the odds by much.
Hope the Tilly doesn't have to go against the Tiger  :o
