Well I finally got this one completed. It is a conversion of the original issue Tamiya M13/40 Carro Armato into the Carro Comando command tank. I did lots of scratch work including a partial interior.
now to finish up the Miniart crew figures for a display

I have finally been working on a base for this over the past week. I used a cheap plaque from Hobby Lobby to start with added some spackle wall compound for the basic terrain, then added some sifted dirt with Future to texture it.




and a test fit with the vehicle

Stik, you just keep getting more betterer all the time! The crew set you use are always spot on.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
