Wargaming Churchill Crocodiles by Milicast .............. no majpr changes on these except for a few minor changes to give the trailer joint some strength for table use. Assembled the trailer coupling then drilled and added a brass rod insert for strength. this also makes the trailers removable so they can be used as gun tanks too. Stowage is also Milicast from their Brit AFV Stowage set .........

I'm building a Churchill right now and hope it turns out half a nice as yours. Such attention to detail makes it look like a bigger scale.
Very well done!

Hi Brent.
With the quality of your painting and weathering, and also your photography skills, these could almost pass off as their bigger brothers in 1/35 scale. Great work.

Thanks gents .....
I've done about 12 Churchills over the last 6 months so I've got a pretty good system for finishing them. I'd still like to do the Milicast Bobbin and Fascine kits though .....
