This work is really riveting, now I am barrelling along, soon I will be on track.
The odd bit of drainpipe comes in useful sometimes.
The Mk 1 may be evolving into a Mk III, I am not sure yet.

Some misunderstanding here, the drain pipe is the grey circular support for the gun on the wagon.

Here is the latest progress.
Track ballasted, rails rusted, will leave this to dry. I used diluted PVA with a drop of washing up liquid to destroy the surface tension so that it flows.

The next photo shows the various bits simply posed and not glued in position.

After weeding the allotment I managed to add a few details to the gun. Crane for lifting shells, rails and lots of bits and bobs.
