Almost sounds like these little tanks were going to win the war all by themselves. A pic of them cut down to size – these are 1/144th scale Arrowhead metal models, painted in the Caunter camo scheme.
Trenchworx's 3D print resin crewman added as the Troop Leader fig (I'm likin' that pose a lot). Was true, that they could turn on a dime.

They look great and the Caunter Camouflage is just getting better and better. I am so glad that you have not added a 30 cal to the commander's hatch. Seemed odd to me and I can find no images from WWII showing that, other than the comic book illustration, which, as you said, maybe slightly exaggerates its value against a King Tiger (fortunately a rarity at Tobruk either time). |

DH, you're too kind, and probably see the mistakes I missed on the first pass (these closeups are unforgiving – and better views than I can see with my own eyes). :))) Kev, thank you too (these little tikes will be tooling around the table at our Sunday games day). |

Looks good. Different than I usually think of. |

Great models and painting!
Always loved the MK VI The consensus is that this mg mount was for a Bren.
And it looks like the illustration was taken from this photo, lol! |

Great work on those, FlyXwire! A very nice representation of the Caunter scheme. |

Silurian, I think you've found the advert's inspiration there! Pete, I think I'll give this scheme a rest now for awhile. :) |

Nice Caunter camo. I've only tried to do that a few times, but was never happy with the results. |
