Thomas,
Your work is phenomenal! The push-pull of textures, what looks like actual mud and earth clotting the tracks, and splattering the undercarriage... how was this done? I have seen attempts before, never such successful emulation of the effects of rolling through softened earth with who knows how many tonnes of metal, sinking its metal into the soft ground and spinning fragments up into the air...! Good golly! The Roy Sutherland mix should be named after you. The surfaces of the tank are immaculately recreated. You tamed a painted steel beast, truly, with an award winning presentation! These are the hands of a Master at work! And your photography is superb. I know only as much as Wikipedia allows about the Churchill Mk V, only as much as a build review by the Perth Military Modeling site tells me about building an AFV kit, but I am seeing beautiful frames sculpted by a great craftsman with sensitivity to form and details. I particularly enjoy the two spades onboard, one positioned akimbo by the design of the deck frame, perhaps... what a rendition of history. Salutations! Congratulations! Champagne! Beer! A good night's rest! Proud of you, Thomas! All the best,

at least as far as a Churchill can be so...
