Excellent job!, Very exciting to see a diorama depicting the Ford T. Question, where did you get your figures, are they purchased or scratch built?

All the best

Tim R

PS. Could you passably take some closer pictures of the car and individual figures? I would like to see some of your details.

Hi Tim
         The basic figures came from the Tamiya 25pdr kit but with a lot of work changing pose's , two slouch hats are scratch as are most of clothing details. The Lewis is also scratch built,taking basic measurements from the Tam. LRDG one. The rock overhang is part of a large wind-blown tree !

Awesome! :)

I especially like the rock. I would never had guessed it was a piece of wood!
Awesome job on the figures too.

It really is an excellent piece of work. That rock... Every time I look at it, it still looks like shale or sandstone. Well done!

Very nice work! I e"specially like the vehicle itself!
Did you reworked the wheels et tyres? The RPM one's are very crude but your model looks mutch better!

Hi Gilles,
             Yes the wheels are re-worked,New spokes from 2mm rod and tyres sanded and new tread "cut" with a file plus valves added. I also rebuilt the front and rear axle's, added steering linkage etc. front wheel arches and running boards were replaced with scratchbuilt ones fron heavy foil.
