I’m not on any but my monthly prescriptions require a carrier bag to take home from the pharmacy. I must admit that except for the fact that it’s two Frenchmen ( I presume) and not a tentacled mutant from Skaro the resemblance is remarkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I believe they are Americans in a M1917 Light Tank, a license built version of the FT. I found the photo on Wikipedia somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think of it Frenchmen of that era would probably have had moustaches. Afaik it was a requirement in the British army. Actually I always find video of manoeuvring tanks reminiscent of Daleks. Edited April 22, 2022 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The first picture looks like like a "cut someone in half" magic trick gone spectacularly wrong, and that's without any hallugin hallelu mind altering drugs (unless toast counts) /P 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not altered my mind but I fear it may alter my morning routine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To try broadening my modelling horizons I'm going to try and spend a bit more time in the depths of the GB area this year. Once the Sherman is done I'll have a shufty and see what's kicking off next in the GB zone... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s roughly one seventh of an aeroplane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, a Richie Benaud (former Aus cricket captain and famous cricket commentator) reference. Thought he commentated on English cricket for many years as well, but to be fair, he was not a modeller as far as I know! But yes, marvellous modelling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Hi Bertie! Wow! That really is an absolutely awesome result and well deserving of all the praise that your efforts are receiving! You have turned out a real masterpiece in creative model building. I would imaging museums would be very intersted in having it on display too. Utterly, utterly brilliat! Very well done Thank you for building it in this GB. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you and I both thought it likely that three months wouldn't be long enough. If someone took their time and finished each part properly, I'm sure they would need a lot more time, but I took many shortcuts (and was quite sloppy at times). Once all this hoo-ha has died down, perhaps folks will notice that. 🤣 Thanks for all the support, and for creating the challenge of the GB in the first place. It's been a very good GB experience for me, very friendly and encouraging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
