At last, back to the model room.
Working on the differential - the big lump of Milliput on the brass rod.
While the Milliput cures, some work done on the engine block and cylinders, I have a couple of pictures of this but it will be built with some modellers license, not a lot of it will be seen once the model is complete.

Thanks, here is a little more progress.
It is all sub assemblies that will come apart.
The little gear wheel on the side is plastic rod with triangular bits stuck to it, I even cut the triangular bits from a sheet of card.
Now I need to work on the drivers area -am finding it difficult to see details on photos - not any top views, I do have one view of the rear end though.

Hi Zak,
If you continue to build to this quality and speed, you'll get snapped up by either 'John Deere' or 'New Holland' tractors!

Great work, I envy your skill!

I hope my next is always better

I'm going to stop following this because I just ran out of compliments.

I am still trying to source information of the driving area - proving quite difficult, it may have to be a best guess.

Detail added at the rear and the drivers position. It has been very slow progress today!
Also added rivets on lots of positions and revamped the front of the radiator.

Well I keep adding bits as I look at more photographs.
Here you can see all the individual bits.
The pipes will need adding after painting.
I have just put all the elements together, they will come apart for rubbing down and painting.

Hi Zak,
Wow!
What colour scheme will it be in?
Grey or Green? or something else?

Probably grey as many were used by the admiralty for pulling siege guns.
