Hi Guys,
I don't know how well the blade will show in the pics, but in natural light it now looks close to what I hoped to acieve. Not exactly, but close so I'll call this one done for now. I haven't added the lower wheel armour, I may or may not do that in the future, but you reach a point in a build when you need to stop and reflext on it over a period of itme, well at least I do, so for now this one is done.
Vehicle represents a D7 Armoured Dozer fron 87th Assault Dozer Squadron, 1st Assault Brigade Royal Engineers, 79th Armoured Division, 6th June 44.

Another excellent and unusal build Alan. The guy climbing onto it is a nice touch to add scale. Nice one.

Alan there isn't really anymore you can do without spoiling such a good model.
The dozer looks fine. The only thing the Armoured dozer needs now is a beach
to drive up
