RE: British WW1 Supply Sledges

Hi guys not been around much these past couple of weeks & again hardly an bench time, but have managed to crack on with the base a bit Thanks for the kind words Tony, never entered a comp before but I did visit the Telford show at the end of 2015, Cheers T140 Quite theraputic but its nice to get a bit of plastic back in my hands lol

Heres the base build so far, Managed to get hold of a couple of old ww1 maps (out of some old throw away books) to be used around the mud base

Made a track & sledge jig for the mud (pic enclosed) 

Thanks for looking, all coments welcome

nice one Grant, I think my challenge is going to be matching the mud on the ground and the mud on the Tadpole, Im hoping once its all painted a couple of washes over the whole project will do the Job.
Thanks again
Rich

Hello Rich, I have always seemed to be attracted to the unusual and different bits of military kit, so I've followed this build with great enthusiasm. I do hope that one day I will get to see your finished diorama in 'the flesh' at a model show.

Grant

What a fantastic project and thanks for producing a set of plans, I'll definitely be putting them to use for a 1/72 scale version to tow behind my Mk.IVs.
I've often thought about doing a supply sledge but the lack of good photos and known dimensions has always put me off.

I really like how yours is all coming together and will be watching with interest.

Cheers
Bern
