Started this build several years ago. It need all of the running gear and tracks. I didn't feel like adding any markings, because I don't know which tank it is(III E/F?). Camo is not accurate. The rope was a nightmare and I fear I may have gone too far. I made it, with twisted dental floss that was coated with pva glue. First time using Vallejo paint effects. I'll be steadily clearing out my shelf queens. I estimate a year's worth of builds, there.

I agree the rope is over the top, but good job sticking out putting it all on there. Another point, the red background makes things dark. Blue or white, I use a towel, sheet or even better poster board.

I managed to remove the majority of the rope. The top crate will have to rely, on the canvas holding it, in place. I'll see if I can't snap a photo, today. I compensated for the background, with my photo settings. I will have to pick up another grey background.

Camo is different .

Thank you for the kind words.

Jeff: I actually have some scale rope, but can't remember where I put it. The making of the rope was simple enough. It was the rigging that gave me problems.
