Do you use Blender to render your model?

Yes, I am building it in Blender and at the moment still rendering in Blender. Will change this soon. By the way - love your Bishop! One of my favorite SPAA WW vehicle!

ok. Here is a tip: When you render in Blender, run your image that you rendered through a denoiser in the compositor to remove all of the noise in your render. It will make it look a lot cleaner with less samples. Good luck on your project!

 

Edit: You can also try to use "Branched Path Tracing" instead of "Path Tracing" when you render to have a lot more control over noise in renders.

Maybe this is the reason why this thing has not been long in service...

i am pretty sure it had something to do with the gun been unable to penetrate the tanks after 1942 and the introduction of the QF 17-pounder in 1942

 

the Deacon was a stopgap, The British tank doctrine was not including any aspect of tank vs tanks fight before 1939, and the had not designed any real tank destroyer at the beginning of WW2. USA was in the same case as matter of fact. if the QF 6-pounder had early success, the effectiveness of this gun fall after 1942, moment where the German Panzer IV was officially acknowledged as medium tank (and not support tank) and by this time, the armour of the Panzer was significantly improved, from 30mm in 1940, it got to 50mm in 1941 and reached 80mm in 1942. that made this gun a lot less effective. as the Deacon was introduced in 1942, it was more of a Stop gap, and like any Stop gap, their services was limited (just like the M11/39 form Italy or M3 Medium from USA)
