Hi everyone time for a change from planes and 1/16 figures. I have seen some great dios on the forum so inspired by you good people I'm attempting this little tribute/memorial to all the people from 1914~1918 I have all the vehicles and figures just need to come up with a plan for the base and ground works anyways thanks for looking comments interest and input that you may add cheers john

Very nice models John.

How about some layout with two "levels", this makes the dio more interesting and attractive like a bridge or the tank pass over a section of a bunker, with the soldiers running inside the structure...

hi John, great idea, I like the concept of it, and nice kits,

i think go for a battle field with trenchers and wire ,with shell holes as the tanks pushing forward :rolleyes: with troops following then

 

[PaulTRose]

look forward to seeing the whippet progress.........i have the very same kit which i shall be doing in about a months time

Looks like a nice kit John I did the Airfix 1/72 Male in the captured GB

This will be good....

John, picture this.....A muddy, shell cratered road - for the tanks - going past what is left of some farm buildings, with Tommy Atkins attacking and, or searching the rubble. You could always incorporate a trench system going through the buildings making it look like a strongpoint in the German defences......

Just another idea...I'm sure you'll get a good many more.

Let's have plenty of pictures when you start please.....

Cheers,

Ron

Nice start john and that officer is smart a reall good job you've done on him

I'd make the male a wreck from a previous battle all muddy and burnt out with the British rushing the Hun accompanied by the Mka lots of mud and barbed wire and turn some of those troops into a dead bodies littering the battlefield

More work in progress but horror of all horrors after looking at the box art for ref of colours for male tank I discovered the guns were clued on the wrong sides and upside down to boot doh! lol after very careful removal have now corrected my....... Mistake:eek: But they now need filler will add later

 

[Polux]

Yeah! Excellent start.

 

[flyjoe180]

Wonderful work so far John. I couldn't put my finger on what seemed wrong with the MKIV on your first pictures, but now you've corrected the guns that was it.

 

[john i am]

Late shift today at work so no progress today but will sneak a couple of hours in this evening and hopefully bash up the tanks a bit with weathering rust and washes aiming to get both completed and will post pics ASAP WORK such an inconvenience to modelling projects lol
