Overall a nice kit, but it was sufficiently old that the tracks, and some of the locating pins on the bogies, had turned brittle. The assembly was therefore a little messy, so I decided to disguise it with the 'pseudo diorama' arrangement on the base - a brownish stone wall a la Normandy (although the blocks are somewhat too regular in shape and size really). It will most likely masquerade as an M10 on the tabletop, but a nice addition to the slowly growing US army. I am currently playing with lists using Keith's Scenario Generation System.
So yet another box disposed off, its contents completed for the table. You know, I'm still enjoying this 20mm modeling thing.
Ooo, very nice! Good to see the interior detail too. Nice work with the wall!

ReplyDeleteThe kit originally came with even more interior detail.. engine, controls, driver etc.. but the engine detail, with an internal bulkhead, had been 'robbed out' from the kit... couldn't see much point because it wouldn't be visible anyway, unless you removed the turret.

Cracking good work on this Robin. I have parts of two wrecks floating around here and just last night I pulled them out to see if I could do something with it.
ReplyDeleteVery inspirational and a nice use of the Matchbox wall.
Thanks Paul.. get stuck in, I say.
ReplyDeleteThe 'wall' came from a Tamiya 1/35th Brick Wall Set I've had sitting there for years.
