Update,
And a bit more work done today as in detail painting and adding some of the stowage. Finally fitted the suspension and lined up everything hopefully...

Still some more work to do, touch up painting here and there, tracks/drive sprocket to add and then give the whole model a wash to tone down the colours.
Hope you enjoy,
Cheers
Mike.

Pete,
A rough average is between 5 and 51/2 tons, I would guess that is across the whole range of Mk.VI tanks.

The paint job is wonderful Mike. Looking forward to seeing the caunter scheme. Would have gone with Pink and Black clouds myself :tears-of-joy: :thumb2:

\steve,
Sorry no Caunter, maybe on the next one (not too far away) and definately not pink and black clouds.

Update (short),
The tracks are on and what fun, a link short on each side, but that will be rectified. Tow rope added and a start on the weathering...

Yes that is rust showing through, the desert was not all sand and sunshine - think of cold nights and morning dew...
JR behave yourself...
Cheers,

This is looking superb Mike. Sometimes I wish I had the room to work in a larger scale but then Braille scale can hide a multitude of sins!

Alex,
I wish I could work in Braile scale, but then again I would have acres of room for the stash... Many thanks for the kind comment.
