Accurate Armour "Little Willie"
Permalink   


Finally coming to the end of this project but hit a snag- the chain drives are brittle and broke while I installed the track sponsons. Ah the joys of modelling!

Here are a few pics. The full build can be seen at Armourworkshop.ca

So I spent more time adding some pigments to the lower chassis and hull as well as the two track assemblies.

An impessive build, I may be slightly biased

Thanks Fellas!It's still not finished but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The kit is pretty good although as with all resin kits there are some issues, like the instructions could be better, but I'm happy with the results. Be nice if the major plastic brands would release this and other early tanks.
I was wondering if there are any suggestions for figure for this to give it some scale.

Have you looked at the WW2 soviet tank crews to mod? most have head protection that need dealing with, the overalls my need a little modding, especially if long boots are worn.

Maybe civilians?

Incredible. How many models did it take you to reach that level of mastery?
