Tamiya Mk. IV Male 1/35


Recommended Posts

Here's my recently finished Tamiya Mk. IV. I put it on a rather simple base in a somewhat less dramatic environment, but as can be seen it has had it's share of mud and fighting.

I also added some Figures by Master Box (Infantry and POW) and D-Day Miniatures (Tank Crew/Officer)

These are the Master Box figures. I tried to achieve different shades of uniform colour on the two british infantrymen by using Vallejo's "English Uniform" as a base and adding a little white and/or Green to paint a pair of trousers or a jacket. Not really to be seen in the picture.

The tank brown is a mixture of the kit-suggested Tamiya paints plus a little dark brown from Revell aqua colour because the Tamiya mix seemed to be a little too much on the light side in my opinion. But who knows what is right...

Oh yes, and it runs! Very slowly, but climbs books, kit boxes, pushes away paint jars... :-)

Excellent build Ingo. I like the weathering, you have made a good job of it.

I like the way you lashed the unditching beam down with rope, nice touch.

Also, the tanker with the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and the mud on the figures boots.

These little details all bring it to life. As Keith wrote, it all adds up to a very good diorama.

Well done!
