Medium Mark A Whippet and WWI British Tank Crew

[von Lucky]

After a Foch game I played a few months ago I decided to paint the Whippet tank and British tank crew I had in the lead pile. Mainly as a test to see how WWI would paint up and that this was a self contained project.

The Whippet tank is from 1st Corps and is a lovely piece (sculpted by tinshedgamer) - nice chunky detail in the resin hull while also having fine white metal details in the four machine guns.



Every tank needs a crew, and I got these Old Glory Miniatures sculpts from the second hand stall at Cancon last year, with the tank corps staff officer being from Warlord Games' British LDV section set. (The first are more than a little ropey, but good enough.)





While I could've spent more time with shading and highlights, I think WWI miniatures can be a little more unpolished to reflect the subject.
