For it only being your 4th armor build. I think you did a pretty good job on it. Toast

Thanks guys. Feedback from modelers of your calibre means a lot to me.

Definitely like the twist on the Maultier with setting it up as a Field Workshop, nicely done! Beer

Hey, now THAT'S cool! What an interesting spin on an old mule!

For your fourth armor build, that's a rather ambitious project. Good for you. It looks great.

Very cool, very original!! I'm envious of your obvious skills.

Paul, if possible, perhaps a bit lighter chain. The chain you have used would be heavy enough to anchor a ship and most likely pull apart the connectors on your endboards. I think you have a good idea going here but the size of the chain just looks out of place.

Very nice spin on an old favorite Paul. There is almost nothing that can't be made out of these guys.

This is the Italeri kit, I scratched the benches from sheet styrene, other bits and pieces from the Italeri Field tool shop set. I needed to use all the kit sides in order to get the height so a 1/35 figure could fit inside the workshop while standing up I have to give a nod to Bruce Suehlze's amazing build over on Armorama which was a definate reference work for me. This is my 4th armour build and I think I'm getting (slowly) better. This will be going into a dio with the Tamiya KT and the ammo loading crew and field maintenace crew sets from Tamiya. Comments welcome. Paul.
