Cute !

have to limit my modelling interests in some way or other ....

With a bit of luck we might get some Tin Turtles eventually

This should be very welcome to the Great war modelers. Considering the Resicast Reviews and WWI models available from other companies, there are enough models now available to create some detailed and complex dioramas.

Looking forward to the challenge of powering this, possibly with a drive under a permanently coupled wagon. Looks to be super detailed, great for railway modellers in 1/35.
