The camo on the tank is fantastic! The figures are going to make it look a hive of activity

What will you use to cover up the seam, where the arm is joined to the torso? I used Poly S many years ago. And also, please let us know how you paint the eyes. I had my own way of doing it, but am very interested in your method.

Congratulations also on the superb Mark IV!

the who i will use milliput to close the seam or some model clay washed over by a brush of mek the eyes are my dreaded part too il just try to paint them in with a very small 000 brush and vallejos superb figure paints and hope for the best i will be the first to admit my faces arent that great but just about do the job ,, i only use vallejo paints for figures because i love its finish and superior manufactured quality so basically to paiont a face i use a matt medium flesh tone the nhilight it with pale flesh on the cheek bones upper brows nose chin etc and then use a thinned red leather wash to run into the lower surfaces and kind of amalgamte the two i will then apply the dreaded eyeballs to the best of my ability however please note to those who really really hate eyeballs archers transfers produce 1/35 scale eyeballs in wet/dry transfers,,, tou can see some of my earlier figures on my other thread some pics of my hobby
