Good evening all.
I've been working on the figures for this tank for the past week.
They have taken a lot longer than I was expecting. Finished the last one yesterday.

With the figures done and installed, it was time to work on a base for this model. Just a simple dio. nothing to elaborate.

I wasn't expecting the whole crew , Jim .... or the base ;)
