Mark I Female, Battle of the Somme 1916, Takom 1/35


Recommended Posts

This is the first and up to now only tank I ever built. I like the original a lot, it's a real monster and a remarkable design from my point of view. I built the model in feb/mar this year and I still have a look at it every day. ;)

 

The tank is not completely oob as I used a corrected resin "canopy" (the one in the kit ist too narrow for the Mark I) and resin weapons and front hatches. The surface is airbrushed with Ammo of Mig acrylics and lots of washes and real mud from the garden. The same applies for the base which is made from foam with acrylic gel, parts of real (dried) trees and bushes, 0.5 mm-plywood, self-made barbed wire and epoxy puddle.

 

Hope you like it a bit. Any hints to do it better the next time are welcome!

 

Greetings

Michael
