Hi guys! Well, another tracked thing. Since I saw a Mark V at IWM (and bought a T-shirt with some images and data about the beast), I thought I should build one. It's impressive, massive, with lots of rivets and details, far from the almost smooth modern vehicles. So, Mrs.V bought one for me and while the AAV's paint sets, I started the build. Tons of little wheels (below we can see half of them):  All on place:  So, I needed some help:  And we have the first side done:   As expected, Meng did an amazing job on that model. The fit is almost perfect (I used all those clamps just because I needed to align all axles), the engenering is very smart and the plastic is fantastic. She is my first attempt on Great War. Hope I can do a good job and hope you like. ACC&?W

Looking very good Marco you must have the patience of a saint with all those little wheels. I have a WWI tank in my stash but I have forgot which one all I know is I can build it male, female or hermaphrodite.
