7TP in September Campaign - 3rd Diorama in Life

[gary66]

Dear All,

Hello. I have been very quite for nearly a year. Miss me? ... The reason I was quite is because, well, let's just say I had to retreat back from UK back to the stink hole called Burma as I cannot extend my visa (and that was back in 2015). I was depressed, no more tools, kit and paints and didn't had the will to even post the stuffs I finished shortly before I had to leave. Internet here is freaking horrible and that also contribute to the factors. Now, I ponder my next move and while I am here back in Burma, I opened up a hobby shop and taking students and spreading our modelling religion. LOL..

Anyway,

Quite some times ago ( probably back in 2013 ), I sent my good friend and a very talented modeller Thanos [check out his Youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8hU8ZakKPtzMKFff6N2K-A]two copies ( or was it one? I cannot remember well) of extra weathering magazines I had lying around. Thanos was starting into weathering and I sent him the books so as to help him with weathering.

It was a very small gesture but Thanos was over-whelmed by it and he sent me a back a rather unique tank model. I call it unique because it's a kind of vehicle I would never buy by myself.

Thanos sent me a 1/35 Polish 7TP light tank with the twin turret from Mirage Hobby. I admit I am not into light tanks but since Thanos was kind enough to send me this, I decided to give this my best and decided to make a diorama out of it.

Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos and bigger ones (4000X3000) can be found on my blog -

Please do have a look and thank you so much in advance for any feedback you guys may have. C&C are welcomed. Just be gentle... LOL.

Thank you for always supporting and for the kind words and various encouragements.

Until the next launch.

Nice job indeed. I think that's the first time I've seen a model of a Polish tankette completed. I recall a feature by Steve Zaloga on the 7TP and similar vehicles in the 1979 Airfix Magazine Annual - Czolg Lekki, VAU33, Samochod Panczerni etc.
