FIRST TANK BUILD

Down Time · Apr 29, 2023

Not at all final assembly, just fitting it together to see where I stand with alignments and such. Tracks need a bit of trimming, surprised, not.
Overall the Tommy Cooker or Ronsor, is coming along.

You make a REVELL kit look like a TAMIYA.

A rare quality.

Rob.

Ok, pretty much done, a few touch ups and detailing. Thinking of a diorama base, can't just leave it out on its own, and have to put those figures to good use.

I am now a big believer in figures and dioramas. But for me it kind of depends on the model.
I think that the figures help tell a story with the scenario you create.
Looking forward to see your story.

Won't be big, set it on a piece of 12" X 12" plywood, should make a fin canvas.

Nicely done, so subtle that I had great difficulty finding the nod to BM !!!!!
Seriously though, it's a great build.

Easy, chuck it in a puddle.
Have fun and remember weathering and mud can cover up any little errors or mishaps.

It is warming up. It's already in the mid to upper 80's here in Houston with a lovely 88% humidity today.
