1/35 Meng WWI MkV Female Heavy Tank
Adding the Tracks & Finishing So it’s my least favourite part of the build which is making up tracks as I don’t have a lot of success with my track building. I seem to be unable to enable them to stay in one piece before I get them around the designated area of the model as with the case with...- Bigfoot57

Adding tbe Machine Gun Sponsons & Clamping it together So as the heading says this time we’re adding the machine gun sponsors and then clamping it all together until the glue is set and whilst that was setting I built the trenching device.
