Thanks Dan!

Thought I'd show you the prize I received from Dan Dunbar . I have already posted the commandos he converted for me, although since then I have retouched the paintwork a bit on them. What I can show you now is the Centaur he converted for me from a Revell Cromwell kit, plus some photos with my HobbyMaster Centaurs and my complete collection of commandos thus far.
Dan is a brilliant builder & painter of AFVs, it's worth having a trawl on his blog at some of his earlier work.
Thanks Dan- you're a top bloke.

Enjoy the pictures everyone:

























And now group shots with the commandos I already had plus the two HobbyMaster Centaurs I picked up at a bargain price from Model Hobbies in the UK.

  1. Now, that's a cool looking commando force. I recon it's the best there is in the hobby at the time being. I like everything about it!
    Good job (once again) John.

  2. Hi Sarg - good to see a group shot, I'm glad the Centaur matches the other 2 in colour, great looking little group there.

  5. Very nicely painted and presented troops, and the Centaurs (?) are superb. I do wonder: how does one achieve such accuracy with the calibration markings? Decals, or hand painted. If the latter, I take my hat off to a master.
    Cheers,

    1. The calibration markings are decals- Dan said that they were quite difficult to apply.
