Pizza bases and modelling!

Some more work on the Airfix Dodge 1 1/2 Ton Personnel Carrier. I have started to weather it with some washes of dilute Earth Brown applied to the trailer sides and the canvas top of the truck.

As usual it looks terrible but just give it time. Whilst waiting for it to dry the two crew of the got their helmets on their heads which made them look a little better than having flat heads!

I am going to place the finished model on a base. Some years ago ready made pizzas used to come on a polystyrene type base. Good in supporting the pizza but not so good if you forgot to remove it before placing said pizza in the oven. Don't ask how I know! However when they were removed I did tend to keep some much to Mrs. Woody's bemusement. I still have a box full - we like pizza at WMD!

I can just get the right length out of the 12 inch base. With some scenic treatment it should add to the model - that is the theory!

No what's for dinner - for some reason I have a hankering for pizza!
