      Cheers John.

      I'm still mystified by the black art of weathering but I'm getting there by trial and error (and Youtube!)

        Very well done indeed. Can't believe that is only your second tank. That is s brilliant job. Very well done indeed.

          Cheers Andrew.

          Yeah, I started building models 6 months ago so still very much a beginner, with lots to learn and plenty of experimenting to do.

            Love this, such an unusual vehicle to make and you have certainly done it justice!

                WOW!! Terrific stuff Andy. The scratch built extras have worked well and I luv the camo. Tow ropes drive me mad as much as tracks do. Glad you stuck with them as they increase the depth of interest. Great work my friend

                  Cheers Steve, it really lifts my spirits to see so many great comments.

                  With the tow ropes being fine twisted wire they had a life of their own and wanted to go every direction except where they needed to! Plus losing a few hooks didn't help, but I've seen plenty of photo's with some missing so figured it would be a bit authentic.

                  I had to wrestle them into position, wedged with sponge, cocktail sticks, tweezers, and whatever else I could get my hands on as the CA I was using didn't want to dry. Will have to pinch my decent stuff back from my lad!
