Beautiful Olivier - it might look even better with some mud piled on top of the bogies, fallen from the tracks, and maybe some fiercer rusting of the exhaust.

Hi Olivier,
Very nice model!

Now what about a display base with trenches and lots of mud?

thanks for your comment.
I'm working on the diorama : with a trench, bomb holes and a litle mud (because it was at the battle of "moulin de laffaut" in april and on the pics I have, the ground is dry.)
best regards

my advice is replace that tree that looks like like pastic(sorry) with a tapered stick with a broken end. since threre was dirt flying everywhere on the battlefeilds of ww1, you dont really need a tree base.

Something I have found that makes a good leafless tree is the Fusia plant when it is cut back.

Very cool job all around. Gives a good sense of its battlefield role.
