I like it; I don't know anything about this kit though - is that brass all home fabricated, or does some come from the kit? One thing I notice is the tyres being different - the blue tractor certainly has the tyres that I am used to seeing on a tractor here in the UK. Anyway, not to nitpick, it's great and some very fine work at this small scale on what is not even a big vehicle; hopefully you'll be showing us it with paint at some point. ...and might there be a farming scene for it?

I'm impressed. Great work, especially at that small scale.

Unusual to see someone convert the military version of a vehicle to the civilian vehicle it was based on.

Great conversion with equally impressive result. You should think of submitting this one to the site as a photo feature. Find a good title for it like "Hey Comrades! Need a Hand?" or "Funny, My Capitalist Machine Never Breaks Down!."

Cheers,
Jan

Excellent!!!!!!

That small base is very nicely done and offers much to see.

I'd like to know how you did the plant and the flowers.

Good work, P.A.

Go to the local Train model store, they have different landscaping scenery stuffs, normally is HO (1/87)scale, perfect for our Braille scale model~~.

use the white glue out on your diorama~~
