The tractor is one of the top models of 2012. In record time you built and painted and weathered it at the highest level ! And the base looks just perfect for the scene you have in mind !

All part of the master plan in clearing the bench, I need to move some past builds along! This included!! The figure is pretty much set now. After setting, I will dirty the shoes a bit. I also am going to down size the base a little. I am still going with the recycled plaque approach, just a smaller on to keep the focus on the truck. So, just about time to start mixing up some ground works and get this put to bed!! Thanks for tuning in!!!

I think you've captured the desert look-feel just right T! Sometimes the simpler kits can be the most fun and I certainly enjoyed watching you bring this one to life.

Thanks Gary!! I might grab that arty one too...at some point!! Watching ER build his to see where the faults are first!! But nothing serious I think!
Thanks Pete! Can't go wrong with the Shake-n-Bake! These kits are all nice!
Thanks Carl!! LOL...I hear ya! I read through some interweb post on the Pz.III's in Africa. Had a whole bunch of maintenance listings...something like 60-70 out of 200 broke down on one trip from dust! HUGE!! This is British though...it can do anything!!! ;D

Too much dust? My car has much more than yours... oh they are salt? But looks pretty dusted up!
Stunning build and it was fun following this one. I watched your video clip about PT 109 review and loved it... why? It was subtitled! Really appreciate you doing this. LHS has the kit in stock and I think they wanted $150 for it.
