I found Dartmoor dust in the nooks and crannies of my car, did something diorama worthy happen there in the past?š

Made a start on a simple base but i still have a bit more to add yet.......
As for the tank............i`ve altered the colour on the mantlet, picked out the ropes, painted the shells inside the turret(these need weathering yet) and then i have a bit more weathering on the tank itself to blend in with the base itself...............plus the light lenses and tow cable
More soon once things dry off a bit....

It looks amazing Boots, I don't know how I missed this one, stowage looks great, quite an impressive build. Congrats !!!

Just lay the dead scorpion next to your figure, than white paint will do for his face

Any advance on two?

Thanks fellas Sorry chaps...........as mentioned i can`t do figures , also there is no suitable figs for this as i have looked and i`m not paying stupid money for expensive figures that would only end up in the bin

Well after a bit of an arguement with myself i`ve decided to bite the bullet and order a couple of differing sets of US WWII tankers from Mini-aaaaargh.............they seem to have the best ones that MAY possibly be suitable for this, i have no hatches open so it makes it a bit more limited to what i can use................i wish i wouldn`t argue with myself coz i always lose!!!!!

That is gorgeous, Boots-meister, and the base will go perfectly with it.

I ordered both of these sets and hopefully find room for a couple of them.............i don`t have drivers hatches open so some won`t be used, as mentioned i only intend to add a couple for intrest and the rest will be saved for other builds...........possibly
in the meantime the hull has been further weathered and now attached to the base to make life easier for handling and remaining weathering etc...........i`m gonna revisit the ammo racks inside as Guybro mentioned in his build the straight brass is just to bright...........you can`t see these anyway with the lid on but i know they`re there.
Still more to add to the base yet.....
