Hi Zak,

Like it, like it like it!!

You seem to come up with a very 'Surplising' choice of tank. Nice work again, What's next in the WWI foray I wonder???

Why Surprising?
The next will probably be a Mark V, I picked an Emhar one up on e bay the other day. Then a Mark V* and V** and then ........
I also have a few that you may not have seen as well.

Hi Zak,
Didn't read my post properly did you, I said SURPLISING  a slant on a supply tank.

Look forward to the next instalments on an already intriguing subject.

ha, so, the Chinese suplising Then.
You are a wag.

If you were at the club meeting you will have seen the Roden armoured car and "Little Willie".

Here is a Polish kit from kit from RPM, it is a Model T Ford with a Vickers Machine Gun.
I added the cooling for the gun and the starting handle, not a bad kit, the suspension and chassis are a little delicate though.

So here we have the Roden 1/35 Rolls Royce armoured car - 1914 pattern with spoke wheels.

Hi Zak,
Looks just like the car I've bought!

I noticed that you car was a little open at the top, didn't notice the Vickers Machine gun though.

Here is Little Willie, the start of it all. Scratch built from plastic card.

I have been working on my Mark V* since coming home from Darlington, I have added the sponsons - one male and one female, this tank is especially for Andy, it will be a hermaphrodite.
I have also added the rear turret and an exhaust system. More rivets to add, but decorating seems to be rearing its ugly head!
Its a very white tank at the moment.
The rivets are at the bottom on the cutting mat on the left hand side.

Nice one. I do like a good hermaphrodite....
Looking good Dave.

[zak]

Thanks Andy.

Here is the 1/35 Emhar MkV built straight from the box and slightly weathered. I may add an unditching beam later.

Not much happening modelling wise with me, too busy baby sitting, looking after Croppers, decorating and then sorting the allotment out.
I still have a Mark V* almost finished and have begun a Mark IX.
Rumours abound that Tamiya are releasing a WW1 tank.

[Haddock]

I'm trembling with anticipation.

[zak]

Eventually finished my scratch built Mark V* Hermaphrodite.
All this gardening, decorating, babysitting and generally enjoying myself keep getting in the way.
