    Weathering Challenge?

    This is an interesting former gate guardian, now resting at Bovington, (awaiting restoration?). Despite the joke thread title I believe it a British Centurion? If anyone fancies a real weathering challenge, feel free to use these as a reference. Have fun!

        Not sure Dale, the shape of the turret gives it away.

        Comrade Race will know!

                        My t55 is miniart.You'll need plenty of patience and a good pair of tweezers for a miniart t55,about 650 parts for the tracks alone!and some fiddly pe.

                          Blimey! I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. Still I could add it to the stash, ready for when I am!?
