discussion A British Tank with some Troops..

[The Smythe Meister]

Well then chaps,
Just to prove I haven't forgotten my Armour roots,(are you listening Mr.Dewire?!! :smiling3: )....
I'm going to cram a few figures and a Tank into a moderately sized Dio :smiling3:
Nothing exciting for most of you,I suspect that at some point you've all done a Cromwell....
Anyway,here are the victims....


..,. Tbc...




.. That's the Tank... Haven't done a Tank,of ANY sort for a while!...the figures to follow shortly ....

 

[Tim Marlow]

Wot! No wings?

Cant beat a Cromwell my friend. Seat front and centre for this one. If you are tempted there are examples of winter white washed Cromwells in the winter of 44'-45'. :thumb2:

Sorry Steve, missed you there somehow!!
You're most welcome mate... although there's nothing that you'll gleam from my builds!!
The Winter White wash is very tempting now you mention it!!
Cheers Buddy,
Andy

Nice one Mike,
You're more than welcome

I’ll tag along too andy , looks an interesting project . Are you going to use the rubber band tracks ? I know a lot of armour guys hate them ( personally im on the fence - as a VERY occasional armour builder I like the simplicity of these but can appreciate the difference of separate link types , just not the hassle of assembling them!)

Andy

Glad your back from that near dark side !

Blimey Tony,up and about early for a Saturday!
Good to see you look in
Yes,I will be using the rubber band tracks,(I can hear the gasps from the S.M. massive from here!!. ),I bought some fruits for a Panzer II years ago,cleaned up,assembled about half a side, lost the will to live..... and they're still back in the box now!!
I've had relative success with the band tracks over time,and when they're weathered up,they can be made to look the part.
