Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

If this guy paints as well as he builds - and I'm guessing he does - I think we are talking about museum-quality What Iffing here..... anybody else agree ??

Superb skills, simply superb.

Hi All!

Worked a little bit, made the fenders, added a little mesh at the back, put the tracks on, and made a front plate with an outlook window. And made two different exhausts, and two joint for the cables on the crane, but it has to be made in a little bit more nice way... it isn't looks fine for me...
At the moment, i cannot decide which front arrangement will look fine on the front:
This with an old dragon part:



Or that with the spare tracks:



Maybe I will chose after the hydraulics are finished...

Some details (had to finish):













The Vehicle:







The Diorama Composition (Will be full with an sWS, a little bit rebuild of course :-))

Definately with the spare tracks.  And that winch is a work of art :bow:

Hoy!

A little improvement "happened" last night :-) The crane is almost finished in the building phrase, only the two hydraulics has to be build on the front, the weldings missing on the hull and on the turret, some little corrections, and the most of the interior of the turret.
So, lot of work to do still :-)
The tools came from different spare parts and kits. Made boxes from brass, and spare PE parts for the final touches and details.
Let me know what You think! :-)

Been trying to think which Whiffie category this will end up in.  Sci-Fi? Armor? Diorama? Kitbash? 

Looking forward to the finished pieces.
