Emhar Whippet recently completed.

I used Mig's WW1 British/German paint set "Moss Green" followed by washes and weathering using Mig products.

Kit went together really well with some care and looked great once finished. I created the base in AutoCAD first to get the trench proportions right then used the resulting templates to cut out the base sides. balsa support posts were used to strengthen the bases sides before installation of the foam.

Foam infill overlaid by Celluclay groundwork. Barbed wire and posts are also scratch buit.

I would love to see what Master Box could do with a new kit of the Whippet.

Have not posted on Armorama for quite a while as I am finding the "instant" uploading of pictures straight from a smart phone to Facebook less time consuming, but I sill want to share my work here to. So I hope you enjoy the images.

I am on a WW1 armour streak currently and have completed two Mk.1 heavy tanks, an FT-17 and a Austin Mk.3 over the last twelve months.

This looks great!!!I know that the 1/35 Emhar kits was terrible and so it is nice to see someone make it into a great diorama.

sabredog-Michael, you old dirty dog! It's been far too long since you have graced these Braille scale electronic halls. It is so good to see you posting again and to gaze at your small scale monochrome delights. Your build and it's presentation are impressive, as normal. I , and I am sure the other denizens, of this forum would love to see the other items you mention building on this theme in your original post. Don't be such a stranger for so long in the future!

Cheers,
Jan

Agreed... Nice finish and yet another fine example of those flawless bases you always seem to come up with.
