Even the weathering on those crates is phenomenal! Great work Bix.

Awesome work all around, Herman. Really impressive painting on the crewman figure too, his uniform camo patterns and skin tone look great. What's next?

Hahahahaha!!!! Thats pretty clever Mr Raminator, I have some stowage out of sequence I see, but its close enough for this kid
And the colour of the plastic bags is not turquoise enough, but I can correct that if a I see the right stuff & not mix it myself

Tank crewman in place. He must be from a North-eastern Ugandan tribe according to a guy at work who is from Ghana & was a Minister that spent a lot of time in Uganda some years ago.
Hes very familiar with the look of the African Union tanks, reckons I got it pretty much right. Thats a boost for me as its a hell of a thing to try a completely different ethnicity from the norm & get the look right and despite having internet pictures, also get the essence of the tank right as well.
He advised that cooking hardware was a huge focus for armoured crews who apparently carried a lot of extra gear on behalf of the troops they were supporting.
Great insight from a man of the cloth who quit the Ministry due to too much misery and threats to life to begin anew in Australia.

Unless I can find a suitable Commander figure Im going to call this done bar a pigment dust over.

This is awesome work. Even TC Amideu looks great.

That's a remarkable story. The "carrying everything for everyone else" goes well with what I've learned from Ogaden War tankers. You done good. You get a gold star.
