PlaStix Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) This is one of my two builds for the Eleventh Hour: Commemorating the end of the Great War - Group Build. Information about the Medium Mark A Whippet can be found here. This was a good kit to build and, despite some odd shapes to fit together around the crew compartment, it goes together very well. I made this to be part of a small vignette together with a Renault FT-17 and a few figures from Master Box. The RFI photos of the FT-17 can be found here. Kit: 1/35 Takom Paints: Humbrol, Revell, Citadel and Railmatch Acrylic paints all applied by brush Extras: None for the tank itself just some stowage items from the Meng FT-17 kit and Academy. Most of the weathering was done with acrylic paints and the mud is from Vallejo. WIP thread: Here Vignette photos can be found: Here. [ A couple of photos of this and the FT-17 on the base: Finally thank you to Robert Stuart for hosting the excellent GB and anyone who commented or offered advice in my build thread.

Buzby061 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Excellent. Great painting & weathering. I spent a mint on the Accurate Armour Whippet just before the Takom one came out. D'oh! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it always the way about some kits appearing just a bit too late? - either, like yours, one appearing after you've bought a more expensive other manufacturer's kit or one appears of one you've spent a load of time converting from another version or two!

riever49 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Lovely rendition of this remarkable tank. The crew obviously haven't had to use the grousers, which look to be in pristine condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Nicely done. Also other tank and figures are well done and base bond it together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must try and do a few more of them in black and white - it's always interesting to see how B&W makes them look 'more of that time'.

Bullbasket Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 My opinion is that the FT is still the best......but this runs it a close second. Nice one Stix. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are a bit too neat and tidy - perhaps, like you suggest - they haven't had to use them yet and have been well looked after!
