A model I made ages ago, just got round to making a very simple small base. madel from balsa wood and ground work made from crushed plaster of paris.

I think it looks really nice. Great weathering and base. It looks like it's going to fall off but that adds to the drama of the piece. Is this the Italeri kit and are there any add ons or is it OTB?

Hi Gary. Very nice duck ... great weathering ... toned down the camo nicly and looks realisticly dusty. My only critic is to add some more ground work under the wheels ... they look like they are floating. The base size looks OK ... not my personal favourite way of presenting a model .. but it works here.

thanks for the comments

it is a Italeri kit OOTB. The only thing that I changed was the loops that hold the rope. I jusu used a staple and bent it into place.. I got ris of the troops because they are rubbish.

My measuring skills are not the best, but It does fit, just about, the wheels on the base if I get it right.
