Beautiful, beautiful work gav..... :eeek: :clap:

I think I should just chuck my little box of tools out, sell off my small stash and take up flower arranging or something a little more calming... :D
You, like many others on here produce not just fantastic models.... But works of art... :bow::
The time, skill and patience many of the kits show is amazing.

I so need to get watching and reading and practising some of these skills you so easily show to us fellow ISM 'ers.

I think the skilled members on the forum could probably give other forums a run for there money at the shows and expo's.
Well done once again on a most excellent build. :clap:

I personally think you are all winners in the group build.... Its gonna be close I think.
I wouldn't like to try and predict this... :think:

looks great GavI'm gonna have to do diorama's and bases for mine, something I never really dabbled with in the past, but they really do make the models come alive.

Really really good result Gav! You've really put some effort into this, and it's paid off. I must say that I'm more than a little jealous, my M10 is only half done. But I'll be referring back to this build for inspiration. (Which means stealing your ideas! Lol)

Well done!

I hear flower arranging is the next big thing - count me in!!!! :banana:

That is truly phenomenal work, absolutely first class. I can only reiterate everyone's comments to the power of ten. :bow::

Wonder if I can trade my airbrush for some secateurs.............. :D

Stunning, the figures are some if the best I have seen (I find it is figures that usually the least convincing part of a diorama)

Absolutely stunning in every tiny little detail and you've paid close attention to every detail. I have to say, though, one of the guys on the ground looks like he's just received a text message!

Cheers Phil. He does doesn't he! He is holding a compass actually, and the model came with a map on a board, but I basically forgot to paint it... I will get it done sometime and add it and then he might make more sense lol.
