Dear All,


Hello. I have been very quite for nearly a year. Miss me? :P ... The reason I was quite is because, well, let's just say I had to retreat back from UK back to the stink hole called Burma as I cannot extend my visa. I was depressed, no more tools, kit and paints and didn't had the will to even post the stuffs I finished shortly before I had to leave. Internet here is freaking horrible and that also contribute to the factors. Now, I ponder my next move and while I am here back in Burma, I opened up a hobby shop and taking students and spreading our modelling religion. LOL..


Anyway,


Quite some times ago ( probably back in 2013 ), I sent my good friend and a very talented modeller Thanos [check out his Youtube channelhttps://"]www.youtube.com/channel/UC8hU8ZakKPtzMKFff6N2K-A] two copies ( or was it one? I cannot remember well) of extra weathering magazines I had lying around. Thanos was starting into weathering and I sent him the books so as to help him with weathering.


It was a very small gesture but Thanos was over-whelmed by it and he sent me a back a rather unique tank model. I call it unique because it's a kind of vehicle I would never buy by myself.


Thanos sent me a 1/35 Polish 7TP light tank with the twin turret from Mirage Hobby. I admit I am not into light tanks but since Thanos was kind enough to send me this, I decided to give this my best and decided to make a diorama out of it.

You have really done that kit a lot of justice Gary ......... Superbly done, some great weathering and the base really sets it off.


Very sorry to hear about your trouble mate........... I wish you lots of luck with the shop and your efforts with the students.

Hey Gary, nice to hear you are modelling, starting your own shop was a sure way of getting the things you need :smiling3: Great diorama, that is a very nicely finished tank and base setting.

That's a nice build, i like the base the most tho! Crushed and flattened flowers and grass as well as a worn patch on the top. It looks like you have just cut a section of embankment away! 10/10!
