Anyway, look like you are of to a quick build of this "target". :stirpot:

I did build one, the old Airfix kit, but just now spotted this build. My only advice would've been to.. .well, to do exactly as Owl did. Camo looks solid to me, well done Owl!! I finished up the actual model, but also wanted to throw down a base of some sort but ended up boxing the tank until I can get my display situation sorted out this year.

thank you!!

I just might be making some more little bases, seeing as how much Ive enjoyed working on this one. If you can see in teh back of this picture, Ive got a second base going on....that happened because I made way too much celluclay. Im still getting the hang of this, OK? :happens:

The bases take a while to dry though; I poked them this morning and its still squishy.

Well done! One thing - the blue trim around the edge is a bit wrinked....just thought you would want to know.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
