1 35 French Armoured Carrier UE

Looking good, though you may want to scrape the seams on the rolled-up tarps (or whatever they are) a bit more? I have no idea what colour the drums were, so sticking with the instructions is probably the safe bet.

Got it, ta mate, stupidly I take more note of the main body than the sides... noted to ones self!

Damn Lee, you're really moving ahead with this!!! Playing ketchup and enjoying what I'm seeing. Can't help you with the drum color though as I've never seen french ones. Jean & Pierre do look great, and maybe a bit scared too!!!...

Prost

Morning all, I've been busy these last few days so had limited time at the bench but progress since last on, trailer is complete, I've had issues with the tracks throughout this build! The tracks haven't sat right or even properly fit, most of the stowage is in place, work has started on the last 2 figures and I've even managed to start a dio!
Can anyone tell me what colour the barrels should be? The box shows them as a light grey/ metallic?!

It's a slow process but I'll get there...

Blimey... That's looking very special to me mate
You're weathering and details are superb to me
Top,TOP stuff indeed!!

Allen, thank you, think I'll stick with the instructions and with their colour.
As for the crew, yes I was aiming for the nervous look, glad I got it!

Evening all... it's been a few days since last update but I'm here with some more for you!
Being the numpty that I am, I forgot to take some pics of the build (yes, I've taken myself away and had a stern talking to myself!)
Ground work finished, figures finished, UE and a figure in place, one more figure to add and some accessories, I can then class this one as complete!
Some pics from tonight...

That is really good Lee. The weathering, the mud especially, is great. Lovely little scene.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

It's been a while since I caught up with this one Lee,and blimmin Eck..

A cracking little scene with all of the parts tying together very nicely.

Looking good, if you ask me. Autumn mud on the northeastern front during the Phony War?
