Thinking about building this for fun, I have the old Tamiya M2. Need others thoughts and ideas …………

Loaded for bear. Bit of a Warhammer feel. Be really great to see your take on this.

Fits the current trend, the Airfix Motorhead He111, the Revel Iron Maiden - Aces High Spitfire.
So, basically, go the Album Cover Model

Possibly the granddaddy of them all the 1975 Album by Steeleye Span - Commoners Crown. Has a billion Airfix figures made into a crown. Very clever

There is so much great inspiration on some Album covers

After reviewing the kit vs the picture, it has been decided the artist used to much artistic license to make the build work.

Pity, if anyone could have brought it to life it's you, Steve! :( :smiley:
