Gary Boxall has been busy with Great War armour. On this occasion it is the Mk IV Tadpole kit offered by Takom in 1/35th scale that has caught Gary’s attention.

Very nice! Really appreciate the subtle colours and the limited rust treatment; another overdone weathering gimmick. All you need now is a suitable muddy shell-torn base and a couple of tired, mud-splattered PBI and you're set!

Very nicely done Gary. I like the subtle weathering but well worn use. Excellent job on the tracks.

Beautiful build Gary, that weathering is very nice, very appropriate for a test tank.
