Hello fellows,

finally the challenge is done!!!! After some sweaty houres, some difficult items are placed.The canvas is made of tissue paper, which you can find between a chemise, or you can buy it in a paper shop. The rope is made of black thread. The canvas for the doors are made of Magic sculp with a little copper bar inside. Before I forget it - I want to say "thank you all for your kindly comments" Now it's time to prepare for the exposition in Heiden, where I want to present the little lorry. Btw, I can't await the day X wink

Thanks for looking and finally some photos of the result.

Cheers

Michel

What an incredible job you've done there! Really superb modelmaking skills, it would be fantastic if you turn your hand to making masters for resin kits!

Hi,

let me show you the last picture of the unpainted "Thorny" with one new little item,which I have got several days before.Thanks to the forum members for their support wink Btw. the Heiden Expo was extraordinary and is worth a visit. In Oktober there is an exposition only for braille scale!!!! Have a nice weekend.

Cheers

That really is a stunning build Michel your modelling skills are amazing. Just one quick question... how did you do the lettering for the radiator shell?

baldwin · Hero

He got it from me. It is an etch that is part of my W^D Thornycroft.

Not at present - I had a look on their site a day or two back, there's a couple of trucks and one or two armoured cars. See for yourself by clicking on the link on the landships II home page.

Oh well! I'll have to desing my own PE set then... Sure this model has inspired me to try to do something like this. Wonder if our friend has alredy painted the model....

Michel, your skills are astounding. Would you consider making another Thorny but with the 13 pdr AA gun. I'm sure you could get this cast and sold in dozens
