Churchill MkIII in Tunisia

Hi Ken. That look superb. Really good work

Johnny

Hi Ken,

She's looking superb, I like the shot through the turret hatches, this will look stunning when finished.

Cheers

Well, short of adding the antennae I reckon she's about done.

Decals added, pre weathering apart from the track area:

After sandy filters, dark pin washes, various different coloured pigments on and around the tracks and then a couple of overpasses of Earth and Buff paints:

Although it looks nicely multi-toned in the flesh, it seems that it's very difficult to show it in photos...

Thanks for watching and for all the positive comments during this build folks. Time to join in the NAGB I think.

Hi Ken. Looking superb .

Hi Ken, may I say that this is quite superb. I`ve really enjoyed following this blog, it`s gone over too fast!!

cheers, Pete.

Thanks Johnny and Pete. That's the way with a lot of my builds I'm afraid Pete - I get so immersed in things I forget to take photos for the blog.

Excellent work there Ken

Now I know what my GB Churchill has to live up to!

Thanks Simon.

It's a Nikon Coolpix L23 with one of those multi-selection menus where you can choose what type of shot (indoor, closeup, night-time etc). Only had it a few months so still haven't gotten round to trying all the different options available. The only one that seems to have any sort of adjustment is "food" which allows you to set the colour balance from red/brown -> blue.

Bones, I wouldn't worry at all - I'm sure you're going to make a superb job of it mate.

Well, I think I've got the camera sorted now - I found a colour balance setting in Auto mode.

Last tweeks - antennae and 51RTR colours added and a bit more lightening with pigments on the tracks and a dusty desert sand/buff mix on the suspension and lower hull.
