That's very nice indeed Jakko. Including the figure gives a sense of scale and reminds us that conflict is about the people.

Great finish Jakko :thumb2:

Excellent work. It was the squaddie with the 'brew' that does it for me!! Superb realism!!

Cracking job Jakko, some great details on that.

Super job Jakko, and a very informative and entertaining build.

Very nice, Jakko. An excellent model of an unusual beast.

That's turned out really well Jakko.

Very well done. It is certainly one of the more unusual looking vehicles.... and makes an already tall vehicle even taller.

A great finish with great attention to detail as always.

Well done.

Thanks all, I enjoyed making it (for the most part ) as the Takom M3 medium tank kits are quite good, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a model of that tank but doesn’t want the greater difficulty of the (better, IMHO) MiniArt version.

Very nice Jakko

Grand finish Jakko!!! Looks fine from every angle and good to see you put the figure in the open hatch too!!! Now if you only had a tin of biscuits sitting on the hull beside him......

Prost

I think there are some in the Bronco British equipment set …

That was very easy with just some Army Painter Strong Tone (I think I used). The cup is far too shallow, though — I could have replaced it with one of the hollow-moulded ones that come with the AFV Club AVRE with SBG bridge, but by the time I noticed those, the figure was mostly painted and I didn’t want to risk it.

He’s drinking the tea cold. No boiling vessel in these tanks
