Wafu Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Years gone by, I started this 'project' in my workshop. All those years ago, I had an idea to model the Accurate Armour, 1/35 scale, Landing Craft tank Mk 4. So it began. Using Accurate Armour's vessel, Resicast AVRE's, Sherman Crab, REME Sherman and Beach Recovery Sherman, Tamiya's Amphibious jeep and Royal Marines Centaur tank. With the tank deck covered I had an idea to use Italieri Dockside to moor the vessel alongside. 4 Dragon Sherman tanks followed. During this voyage, I discovered a bit of family history. My Great Uncle was part of the 13th/18th Hussars and took part on D-Day, going into Sword Beach at 0:45 H-hour. It became a no brainer that I should show my Great Uncle's troop of tanks on its way to embark. So here is my finished project, hope you like. Sorry about the poor quality of the photo's, small shed, big diorama and an I-Phone.

Wolf Buddee Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) What an amazing piece of work, or should I say, what an fantastic collection of amazing pieces of work! Long term projects like this are really bitter sweet. Sweet, in that it's finally finished and all the time spent was a labour of love, sweat, research, money, and probably even some blood, has resulted in an incredible snapshot of history. Bitter because you're done and the next trip to the shed will not involve more work on a project you've come to work on for so long. Judging by it's size I have to assume it's not leaving the shed? If not, that's a bit of a shame. Very few family members or friends will really appreciate or understand what you've accomplished. With that in mind, thank-you for showing it to us fellow modellers, who can marvel at you accomplishment. You really have to give us some good detail shots. There's a lot to take in!
