How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Knocked-out British Mk.V Tank (WWI)

[Bertie McBoatface]

 

This was intended to be a diorama but I only got as far as the tank and figures before I ran out of time, skills and interest. However, I think it's still worth a look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's a ton more pictures here:

 

 

There are also twelve pages describing the ups and downs of a four month build.

 

The Tank is Takom, the figures are MasterBox and the scale is 1/35.

Aye up Bertie.

 

That is superb. I followed the build thread and the amount of work you put in is really worth the end result 👍

 

Regards,

The same a Steve. Fantastic result Bertie, all the hard work paid off handsomely. 👏

[Autle]

There's been a lot of work gone into this build and it's paid off again for you. Really good little vignette as well.

Super job and well worth all the hard work. Damage looks very realistic 👍

[robgizlu]

Superb work on those tracks - such a realistic finish

Thank you all for the appreciation. I had a lot of fun with this one, as well as a few setbacks, and I'm really happy with the result. It would have been better if my imagined diorama had materialised but that's where my skills are seriously wanting. Maybe next time...

Very nice  Bertie, it looks brilliant, it really does, I’ve watched the progress of this build for some time and it’s ended up smashing. The damage looks very realistic, well done...👍

Hi Bertie,

A magnificent result, the appearance of the damage seems very convincing, and the idea is very original, with all those figures.
Also a great job with the interiors.
Cheers and TC
Francis.👍

I really must read it myself - I've forgotten most of it already. 🤕

Really, really nice and apt as I have nearly completed the same Takom kit myself (but still in one piece 😄).

Thank you.

 

The next one (or three, or ten) is my exploration into the Valentine tank family. (Big update coming soon-ish)

Innovative piece of modelling very nicely executed!

Particularly like how the track colour/finish has worked out, very realistic. Interior looks great to btw.

 

Super work.

Superb from start to finish 👌

[Maginot]

Another one bites the dust. Great wreck. Yes, those tracks are superbly done. And I like Stan Laurel holding his rifle by the bayonet; this is another nice mess he's gotten us into.

[Carius]

Excellent job indeed

It's Stan to the life! I hadn't seen the likeness before you pointed it out.
