Very nice, a fine painting and weathering job too. If I can add one constructive criticism, especially on the second and third photos it seems to sit on the base, there are small gaps under the track. If it was set a little deeper in the base there would be more impression of weight of the vehicle in the mud.

Having said that, one of the best Great War tanks I have seen.

Thanks for your previous comments.

Model kit is 1:35 scale from EMHAR. In addition,�I made a top design from Evergreen profile, tracks are from resin PANZERSHOP, log to rescue is selfmade.

I konow about the problem with terrain, I used universal pedestal, because I have more models and I must keep them in the cabinet and bigger pedestals don�t fit.

I put the model on the pedestal to doesn�t lost in space.

Hello Ivo,

This is a wonderful job, particularly the weathering (I assume you used oils for the streaking/oil stains?).

I am actually in the process of building an 1:35 Emhar MKV hermaphrodite straight from the box so this is good inspiration.� If you wouldn't mind, would you perhaps share with us the size/part number for the Evergreen stock that you used for the unditching rail?

Also, did you end up having to replace any rivets on this during construction?� I'm going to end up having to replace some on my kit to get the fit correct.

Again, awesome job, it's inspiring to see this kind of work.

Best Regards,

BT

I like your choice of base colour - it looks more like the tiny bits of clean paint that seem to survive on Lodestar III in the Royal Army Museum in Brussels; have you been to see it?

Although I have yet to see it myself first-hand, I'm getting the impression now that the colour used (at least on Lodestar) was more yellowy than beige - tan rather than khaki. In photos this can only really be seen in close-ups of detail; pics showing the whole vehicle show a more washed-out colour because there is so much dirt on the surfaces.

Thank you gentlemen,

for color adjustment as a basement I used TAMIYA TS46 spray, in this layer I used dark brown REVELL 82. After drying I eluted the dark color off by thinner till stepped up the original light ground.

As a immitation of filth I used combination of black graphite + brown school chalk + distilled water. Whole lightened by white chalk.

L- profiles are EVERGREEN number 293 ( number form the package ) size 2,5mm x 2,5 mm from the shop for railway modellers - great material for elaboration.

I have not tried to replace the rivets yet for litlle experience, own labelling of vehicle - own production of the templates cuutted on plotter.

Great work Ivo! That's not the easiest kit to build right. Great weathering too :)
