Great work! Wonderful paint job and the base helps show off a fine build!
I really like this tank, have just ordered Haynes Workshop manual for this tank.
Best from Ivan

Finally finished :)

It is cold, snowy morning with an overcast sky during mid November 1916. The Somme campaign had waxed hot and cold for over four months with horrendous losses on both sides for little apparent gain.

Some better images of the Master Box 1/72 Mk.1 Female. These ironically are from my iPhone and not my Canon camera. It is interesting the differences made simply with lighting and camera angle. The last pic is closer to the actual colours of the finished build.

Like to thank everyone for watching my build of this really nice kit progress.

That has turned out very nicely indeed, what a great little diorama. The model has some excellent looking detail and if you hadn't mentioned the scale I would have thought 1/35th.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Again, thanks everyone. I was asked by Modelart magazine (our only local scale model mag) for a build review. So that hopefully might be published at some stage. :)

A great looking build, and a great diorama.
