Chip's Little Bug***Squished***

[Molly-new]

Hope he doesn't get side tracked at the Naafi..

Unfortunately he did, and ended up almost legless:



I will have to wait till he sobers up (dries out) before he can go anywhere near an armoured vehicle.

Obviously a beer drinker - likes his hops...

Build now complete, I just need to add a bit of weathering and another bug will bite the dust.

Very nice Chip and Flight Sergeant Hoppitt seems happy enough to have changed services

Looks good with the figure in it. Is he now called Sgt. Juan Legg-Only

You Guys.....

This is now finished:







I gave it a black wash to bring out the edges, followed by basic weathering using pastel chalks (first time). The fuel stains were produced by blending gloss varnish, water and a dot of black paint. I am quite pleased with the way it came out.

Once I got used to working in this scale, this turned out to be a really enjoyable build.

Thanks for following the build and offering advice (and bad jokes - Andrew) as always.

Here's to the Tiger GB.

Now that does look good Chip. I'll have to try that recipe for the petrol staining. I need to get some more chalk pastels too!

Cheers

The weathering finishes it off nicely !!

Wow, that looks great Chip, the figure adds a nice scale touch to it. Thanks for the great work.

Great job Chip, the weathering certainly adds something to it.
