So this is AFV Clubs 1/35th AEC Armored Command Car, DAK Mammoth also called a Dorchester by British troops after the swanky hotel of the same name in London.
Anyway here she is with only the nameplate left to make and attach.
Here is a photo that Bruce found that I got the Idea for the diorama from
The camera is really making the faces look washed out, In person I think they turned out better than any I've done so far. Also noticed I forgot the small tarp to go under the one figure on tops arm since it needs to be elevated just a bit.
Thanks for following along!

Thanks Lyle and Carlos! I forgot to mention the figure set, I'm not sure who the original maker of them are but this set was made by Master Box.

I won't try figures. Just can't get them right. These, however are spot on. The poses are perfect and look quite real.

Thank you Lyle. I got a few sets from Master Box they seem like a higher quality than Dragon more on par with resin figures.

Incredible finish! I have not practiced dot filtering as a weathering technique so I downloaded your photos from the work in progress. The exterior came out really well. What I appreciate is you always think through the "final flourish" as my grandfather would say—the project always ends up on a proper base with a proper setting to support the work. It's a great story telling technique and I sincerely appreciate what you have done here. The figures are pretty amazing--and each one has their own personality. Highest praise. Congratulations!
