Kind regards, Stix Guys I know, i got 4 miles home then realised I'd forgotten my box full of goodies, that will teach me to get things dilivered to work. Stix you'll be glad to know it was a 1/35 scale tank not a 1/1 scale tank, I'm not sure what the neighbours would say with it on the drive. The figures are looking good, I'll post some pictures later. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Got my figures built over the weekend I've also got a base 24x24cm, I've got an idea for a dio which envols a log hut and a fence. I've got the Dragon set of tank riders and also another dragon set, I've got to change my mark of thank to a G not a H. Fortunately all the bits I need are in the box, it also means I can try the miniart track links. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Great to hear you've been busy. I always like to get things like figures, stowage items, extras, etc done earlier than the actual tank is finished otherwise I find I'm less interested in them. My favourite bit is building the actual tank. Kind regards, Stix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix, I'm going to try something different on this build, I tend to spend far to much time on the tank build and no long enough on the base. So I'm going to concentrate on the base build before Christmas, I just need a dry day to go foraging for twigs. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaguards Badder I could get my raincoat on but when I’m not at work, I tend to dodge the rain. I’ve got the tank riders on order and should be here soon, having looked at a number of reference photos. The buildings are log cabins with twig fences, I should be able to find the on my travels. With a bit of mud and snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local model shop sells MDF bases 24x24 a nice size for a tank and some figures. The dust is a problem, I just dust them off with my airbrush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Got a bit creative this afternoon, started putting the base together. I brought some dowel from the model shop in town, while I was walking back I found some twigs for the fencing. For the roof I had a pack of this leftover from another project, I'm going to lay them on cardboard to make the roof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
