Just to be clear, I didn’t build this! Back in July, my tank obsessed mate said he was putting something together for me for my birthday, but then he said he was having a few issues, so it might be a bit delayed.
I forgot about it, then he brings a cardboard box to the pub last night, apologised for the delay and said the kit was more difficult to work with, because the body was actually close to scale thickness, and very thin and awkward to assemble, and he then decided to rather ‘embellish’ it a bit, as he had some time, and it’s now an additional Christmas present…
I can only dream of building something like this, with the level of detail – the wall the tank is lurking behind was built from individual bricks, and the rubble filling the cavity is actual stones from his garden, which he crushed using a cast iron mortar and pestle, for added realism!
As you might imagine, I’m chuffed to bits with it! Best Christmas present ever!
