WW 1 Mark IV " Hermophrodite"

Track's on and small gun damage picked out and 6 pounder an Lewis gun barrels ready for buffable metal's.
I'm not going to do a great deal of weathering until I get the base sorted.
Was thinking about stowing some gear on top but both my favoured stores are out of stock and I'm not sure if they did carry much on deck apart from spare track gear.

Thanks for lookin Kurt.
 
Ha, great looking pup, he's just there to help. :mpup

I can't say I've seen photos of these things loaded down with troop stowage. I've seen a picture of one disarmed and had "Supply" painted on the side but still nothing on top. Must have been loaded down inside.

:popcorn
 
This build has stalled a little as I am still waiting on the trench kit and PE rifle strap's I ordered. Until I get them the base cannot be built :bang head :vmad
 
Well while at the model show a vendor had the trench kit I had on order elsewhere so I grabbed it so I could get the build back on track.

The figures are multi piece but go together well with some careful gluing. The detail for a 35th scale figure is not bad and should paint up ok.

Trench part built.I have left it in two pieces for now to make painting the timber planks easier.
Nice sub-tile timber grain detail.

The sprue of accoutrements is full of items,way more than what the men carry. Machine gun,shovels,axe,barb wire cutters,grenades and all sort's of little kit bag's very nice.

Not a great deal done just a little paint in the trench. I painted each plank individually with differing shades of brown,leather,canvas,flat earth and old wood some intermixed with each other.Totally randomness

To start toning the wood down I used thinned down filters using translucent shades of Smoke,Nat wood and wood grain. Then I dry brushed Burnt umber to get the patchy look to it.
