Airfix 1:35 WWII U.S. Military Tractor with diorama

[zak]

More messing about, placing things on and seeing how they look.
Paint stains on the floor, and oil.
Tractor John has butter fingers and dropped his tin of red paint.
Tools still needed in the tool box.
It is never ending, when will too much be too much?

[zak]

As its raining and not very nice, some tools in the toolbox and maybe a different vehicle for the diorama.
Tractor John also has a penchant for old motorcycles, in this case a BSA M20 courtesy of Tamiya. I wanted a Triumph but the Bronco ones were either out of stock or very expensive.
So far I have added a spark plug and lead, after some painting I will add other cable and leads.

cracking on with it, looks good.

Excellent set up - only thing I would add is some oil stains under the tractor from leaks.

I will, but I am not sure where the tractor is going yet, patience Marin, patience.
I make a list of the things that I want to include, it is never ending, somethings get missed and some things will not fit.
Here it is.

Another idea to borrow.

[MSea]

Yes Chris its the only way - I do the same when planning a layout. Sometimes you forget things when you are in the midst of making so a look back at your plan reminds you. Other times you just rip it up and change half way through.

[zak]

More posing and thinking going on.
Maybe even a different tractor?
All British perhaps, or even two tractors?
Who knows.

Is the figure going to be Tractor John?

Is the figure going to be Tractor John?

Yes, that's him, any resemblance to anyone will be purely incidental.

Fantastic diorama Dave.
You need a drip tray under the tractor.

Hi Zak,
Just outstanding. I'm learning a lot about this, diorama set ups, list of things to include, etc.
This is 'real' modelling on a great scale (no pun intended)
Cheers,
Bigkev

Well put Kevin.
