Great to see the finished product Guy!

Top marks from me mate, I hope mine comes out just as nicely! Hopefully should be starting it soon.
I'd give you another slap on the wrist for historical accuracy but i'd have to couple it with praise for your artistic license ability!

Great work mate, and the blog was great too.

Looks good, Guy!

A really cool build with some turret numbers that could be seen some distance away. Especially considering the scale of this beast.
Great job on the weathering.

Thanks for sharing

I is not easy to determine that this is a small scale model and not 1/35 or larger.
Good work on the build and paint!

Jesper : the size of it prooves that this project was just arrogance I believe. Thank you for your attention mate ! G.
KoSprueOne : that is a part of my fun, you can hide it in one hand and that makes it a challenge, to make it look that big. Tanks too ! G.
