While I was working on the commission build and then faffing with the little sub wreck I have been working on this.

Lost the tracks but all there so, I decided to do it as a monument/prize that has been left to slowly rot away.

The odd coating of grey and black paint with crude camo added-I wanted that roughness in look that you see on these kind of things, also added some graffiti and of course, lots of rust.

I will get around to making a plinth for it that will be grassed etc.

Great idea Si, from what I can see it looks good but the pics are dark any chance you can get some lighter pics mate?

Maybe they were dark because I was sat outside... they look better now I'm sat indoors, maybe lighten up the interior pics?!

Nice work Si. Once you have it on a base with tufts of grass etc it’ll look even better:thumb2:

The interior is just black spray with some rust, not much to see. I have seen some pics that showed the interior of similar vehicles just plastered in black paint.
Glad that they look better piccies.

Ta Si, hopefully just the simple thing of a base will tie in the piece.
