Ta guys for the support. I have finished off the board and apart from the plaque to add then a bit of grass work I am calling this done so will post up in the completed section.

Had a lot of fun with this and really enjoyed the build. Altogether this build, including the £1.99 for the model has cost me around £5 if that: Bargain!

Is there nothing you cannot do with a brush a nd a stick o glue Si ?? It is fantastic liking at the work you produce. It also shows my limitations in the modelling skills I have ( think I have)


Awesome build!!


I wonder what you would do on a deserted island?


Build a dio no doubt of the desert island using twigs and sand and somehow make paints from the fruit and vegetation. ( sorry Si it's just I'm so envious of all the fantastic stuf on here)

Please do not be envious of anything I do, I do not think I am that good and look at others work and think WOW! We all think our work isn't the best, that's why we are here to get tips and help each other.

Nice work so far Si, like the idea and the paint work is right.

Leave it to you to build it in a unique situation, looking great! Have one also {Tamiya-old school} though mine was free! Looks an impressive beast! though I would leave the skirts off {no pun intended LOL} as I did with my Centurion, gives a chance to play with track sag.
