Hi Tim, amazing work and it was a pleasure to see it in the flesh at Telford and chat with you at the end of the show when we were collecting our entries (mine was the Stug vignette set in Sicily). Really enjoyed reading the blog over a cup of coffee this morning, lots of food for thought. Owen

Amazing build Tim, to anyone that has followed this build it has been a masterclass of every element of our hobby…from the composition, to the construction of all elements and the subsequent painting…an inspiration to us all, :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:.

Thanks so much Dennis, glad you like it. I had plenty of doubts along the way, not least because I have never tackled a Far Eastern subject, let alone a jungle before.

Thanks Tim. You and I certainly know about sweat and tears - but it’s great to get to the end (well, almost - I have one more figure to add). Looking forward to your end game!

Thanks John. There’s still one more figure to be added (a deceased Japanese tanker). I will also be posting some more photos and anything that got left behind on the old site.
