Thanks Steve, you may have a point there however I am modelling the tank and its crew at leaguer, during which time stuff has had to be untied and relocated to get at other stuff underneath - hence the coiled rope sitting loosely on top of the biscuit tins. Possibly not much of an excuse, but I'm sticking with it

Sounds good to me.

The tank is now part of the completed diorama, the RFI for which can be found here.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is truly amazing, so many outstanding tiny details like the chains on the stowage bin pins and I love the bren. As has been said excellent weathering too a real masterpiece well done

Thanks Mr Wagtail, for your most kind comments

Excellent finish Clive.  Love all the detail.

Thanks Sunray, very much appreciated

That's quite a finish for a first AFV.....Bravo! 

 

Your attention to detail is impressive and to batter the fenders as convincingly as you did, at the first attempt, really does you credit IMHO.

i like looking at tanks but not making them (bar some) but that is the best i have ever seen even if it is one of the super deataled 1/35 modles

[clive_t]

Thanks SA80A2AR, very kind

Excellent work Clive, you've created a superb hot, dry and dusty finish and all the added stowage sets it off nicely.

And at least it has something of an interior too which the Takom doesn't. 

 

Must go and look at the rest.

 

Cheers
