Me like a lot!

Imagine the poor souls that had to do track repairs and similar on a tank in that muddy condition whilst being scared that a Panzer division could swing by any minute... Makes me shrug for sure...
Very realistic I must say so my hat off for you!

You should read "Death Traps" by Belton Y Cooper - who served with the 3rd Armoured Division, and was responsible for the recovery and repair of damaged American tanks. Its fascinating reading and jaw-dropping in places!

Another belter from your workbench Jim, I'm guessing that those tarps are your own creatioms? If so, another one of your tutorials would be pretty amazing??

Thanks John, the tarps are very simple, anyone can make them, I use tissue paper, folded, rolled and tied off.
Soaked in white glue and water then set about where ever wanted, will mold into any shape or vehicle contour.
Let dry for 24hrs, paint, wash, highlight...done

Top work again Jim , what do you use for mud , I've bought all the mud from modelling companies but it never looks right it always looks gritty

Thanks Alan, built this one in the 80s, still lived in the city....just plain old dirt from backyard, sifted and mixed with white glue and water until an oatmeal like consistency
was achieved.
