Schneider tank on base, still need to glaze lights and add some weathering and more dry brushing.

Hi Zak,
Weird looking machine that. I agree with Haddock, the base does not do it for me, I think the base could do to be a bit bigger across, so tanks sits centrally with groundwork all around it. At moment looks like Tank has been airdropped onto peak of mountain........?
Though, I can see what it is meant to depict, running over trench tops.
Only a constructive observation from me.

I hope my next is always better

The tank is not stuck to the base, it was simply posed there.
The base is from another kit.

Feathers, I wish I had some!
Not at all, nice to get a reaction that is not always, super smashing great.

Nowt wrong with constructive criticism, in fact you may all get a lot more of it in the near future.

Is that a threat or a promise?

From Haddock it will be a promise, but remember what goes around comes around or is it the other way round, whatever, beware!

I have a Meng 1/35 Renault FT- 17 to build now and I must say it looks excellent, the parts are well moulded and clean.
Here is a start on the build.
Nice interior detail included for the driver.
