Excellent! I love the way you made your dio to look as though the tank is about to fall into a trench system. 5 big fat *****

Your mud looks very........muddy? What did you use? Hoping the answer isn't the obvious! LOL

 

[papa 695]

Hi Ajay a very quick reply the mud is made from polly filler you can play about with it for ages before it sets. And thank you for the 5 stars

 

[dubster72]

I love this! The tank is excellent, and the dio is top-notch. The trench looks great, you can imagine the fear of the defending soldiers as this behemoth was coming at them!

Definitely worth 5 stars & a pat on the back!

Excellent work, Ian, you've done this kit proud. I might have to look into using Polyfiller to make mud as well, as that was the first thing I was going to ask before I saw Alex's post.

One thing that caught my attention though; is the trench perhaps a little on the deep side? It looks like it would be around 12ft. Is that normal? Maybe I'm wrong, just something I thought when I saw it

 

[mobear]

i would be so scared to build one of these tanks and u make them look, so real first class

 

[Vaughan]

Outstanding build and a great dio Ian 5* all the way.

Thanks for the comments guys. And Greg yes your right about the trench being a little deep, but i didn't go for scale on that just something to show it on. But your point is taken onboard and i will do better on the next one Happy modeling

 

[mossiepilot]

A cracking tank Ian, and the base is a nice piece of work.

Great modelling.

Tony.

Really nice work, just imagine the terror that must of been in the trenches Hearing then seeing these monsters clancking towards the poor Tommy squinting through the mist.

Have sat in one of ours at Bovington engine in the middle hardly any room and the metal scab's flying of the Body every time it got hit with rounds of many callebers.

Cheers

Awesome looking machine Ian, plus a nice simply themed diorama that takes nothing away from the tank itself

 

[pneupack]
