Airfix M3 Grant Tank 8th Armoured Brigade 1/35

[Firebuild]

Sooo, my first ever Tank and first attempt at a diorama. Second attempt at weathering which I feel is a bit of an improvement on my first attempt (1/35 SAS Jeep)

I was desperate to build a WW2 Tank and already bought some desert colours so this and my next one are British desert based.

 

I used this to test out some new techniques  after reading up and watching some YouTube instructional vids. Maybe overdid the wheels a bit and didn't attempt chipping (doing that on the next one!) 

Enjoyed playing around with the diorama where I used a Heller base and built up some texture, plants and rocks etc.  Definitely learned a lot but really enjoyed it! 

Thanks for stopping by 👍

 

 

im calling it "Back from the front line"

Ditto that.

The diorama is interesting. I don't know whether it was your intention but putting the tank right on the edge, heading inwards like that is very suggestive of the 'miles and miles of ****** all' of the desert.
