    I am now calling this one done. 8-)

    Despite being a bit challenging, due to its (relatively) small size and scale (1:72) and its many parts, I really enjoyed this build.
    Not 100% satisfied with the weathering if I'm totally honest, but I'm still learning as I go along. But I just could not get it to look how I wanted it to in my head IYSWIM?

    When the build was complete, I was actually considering doing a winter look, with snow on the vehicle, but as I could not get the weathering quite right, I've decided to leave it as it is for now.
    Here are the final pics.

    Nice one

    Very interesting vehicle

    Wonder what they were like to drive considering the length..... Must have had a wide turning circle
    Per Ardua

    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been

      Lovely build, well done. A 3 point turn would be challenging.

        From the blurb on the box it does state that the front three axles and the rear three axles all steer, which would have obviously helped with maneuvering.

          Nice result Peter. It looks suitably weathered to me for a general look. It is easy to overdo 1/72 weathering.
