I mentioned this in my other thread FW Administratum, so I thought I'd dig out the pictures and post them. This was the first thing I ever bought via eBay. It worked out less expensive than buying direct from FW, however if I had got it from FW I would have sent back the banana shaped barrels an exchanged them for some straighter ones! I put the IG blokes in for scale and to 'fill in' some of the shadows. Since taking these pictures I have re painted the troops bases in a less 'day-glo desert', more 'angry urban' scheme. When I bought it some of the bits to make up the radar assembly were missing, so after a bits box rummage I came up with this: All the side reinforcing beams have had their sides replaced with plasicard as they had all snapped off, as had the steps. I also added some oil drums and ammo boxes.

Very nice piece - well done. I especially like the metal banding edging the turret

Thanks, I can't take credit for modelling that, as it was one part that was all intact. I haven't got any (yet) but I think the defense line walls have the same look.

You've done it again Ash! You've yet again overwhelmed me with your realistic painting!
Great work yet again Ash!

Cheers mate, I'm glad you like them. Since I took these pictures, I've tarted up the bit of netting to look more like a proper camo net and I'm thinking of redoing the barrels green. I had to practically boil those barrels to straighten them out, but over time they have slowly gone back towards the banana look.
