Look forward to seeing more of the build.

Yes, it is quite delicate, some nice detail underneath as well.
It is a really nice kit, fit of parts is excellent.

Futuristic or What!

Can't believe this is a WWI Tank.

Great Stuff,

I have been slightly side tracked into something a little different.
Still WW1 and so I will post here about it.
I bought a 1:600 scale Airfix ship, the RMS Mauretania, these have been re-released and contain decals, sorry transfers for a hospital ship version from The Great War, so I thought why not, I need to try to build something for the maritime competition anyway.
The kit has 1964 stamped all over it, it is not brilliant so maybe it was a bad choice.
I am attempting to make my own railings, with only a modicum of success.
This will have to be a test bed, it is not up to Haddock standard.
The railings are from very fine wire and stretched sprue.
I am finding this really difficult and it may end up in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those railing look a little drunk, my eyes are like - well I am sure you can guess, something to do with sand and holes.

Any-one who attempts to scratch-build rails in that scale deserves great respect, or they need their bumps feeling.

I found making my own railings a challenge to say the least.
Transfers still to be applied.
Here it is, it is ok from a distance but do not get too close.
Still thinking about rigging.
It is all a bit small!
