Dispite this being a very old kit this the first time ive done it and found it nice to do

Did make one booboo...... I meant to put something heavy inside so it would sit flat but i forgot, it wants to tip forward a little, so i knocked up a little sloping base so it didnt....... A plastic lid off something, some foam board to make the high point then cheapo wall filler followed by a mix of sand and pva for texture then splodge on various browns

I need to find one of these in 1/35 at a sensible price

That looks very good. These WW1 tanks and trucks make interesting models.
 
Wonderful work Paul. Very nicely posed and photographed, and the base looks suitably Western Front.
 
Nice one Paul.Think ive got 2 lurking in wardrobe stash hiding place,Treated myself to a Masterbox one which is nice and is more accurate them the Airfix ones but its a Golden oldie and i slapped one together aged 11.
 
Nice one, Paul! I'm working on a Mark V right now. These models are fun to build.
 
Great result there Paul. It just looks so proper sat in the mud.
I know what you mean about the kit, I built one years ago, yes it's an old mold, but goes together well.
