I'm not so sure about the perfect bit - formed or deformed?
Anyhow some paint added, forget to take pictures during the process.

Now need to weather and so on.

In the meantime here is something I started in May and that I keep working away at.
This is a Mark IX tank, well its really an armoured personnel carrier of sorts, came around the end of the war but did see a little service, it could carry up to 30 infantry - bet they were really happy about that!

Ist hard to believe that it is made of cardboard. Superb work, I`m very envious.

Just noticed how well organised your workbench is, do you have some-one that comes in daily and tidies up after you?

Yes, very unusual that.
I am trying (yes, I know I am) to be much tidier, so that when I put something down I can find it again. Guess what it's not working. It  is quite a nice feeling to leave it tidy at the end of a session though.

Hi Zak,

Looking great! Hope to see it sometime. What's next?

At this rate it will be finished within the week.

I hope my next is always better

Next will be a Holt Artillery Tractor.
I will try to build one but I may succumb and buy a resin one.
