I like the green enamel color on the tractor to the right. Maybe with some red pin striping and a touch of brass here or there.

I'm not a treadhead, but this is looking crazy cool !

I'm seeing this in a three colour scheme with a black line between colours a bit like the Char B, just a suggestion  ;)

Back from the OS trip, with a small bit of intensive activity while transitting Dubai. Flying Emirates was a great idea 9 months ago.

Took a few days, but back on the tools. Getting some paint on the Steam Tank





Still work in progress but at least some progress shots

I could see using an amphibious amtrac type vehicle for the base for on of these.
And yes, the colors are perfect!

Thanks  :smiley:

Outside of base or no base... this is done(ish), a couple of glitchs to fix from the photos around some of the weathering that does not quite work.

Weathered up a bit with some pigments (how old school  ;D) and some of the newer weathering products. Trying to remember that this is 1/48 not 1/35 so things have to be smaller.
Tracks went on rather well. One thing I did modify was to shorten the gun as I decided for 1/48 it was too long
The rather fitting name decals came from the Takom Mk1 Male Tank







All in all, this works for me and ticks the right boxes for my sensibilities for this, considering it is blatantly obvious what the base model is.

Thanks for the support  :smiley:

Works for me, too!  :D :D 8)

Who cares if the base model is obvious, she still looks like her own thing, & the shortening of the gun works well, looks more "period".  :smiley: :smiley:
