Lovely work ,

The Sherman DD is a particularly nice solution. As Rich mentioned using cornflakes card seems a very nice way to avoid going out to the recycling bin.
Looking forward to the next update.
Mark.

Some sharp cardboard engineering there Colin

The benches being fitted will be the icing on the cake me thinks. 👍

Spent today trying to build a Britannia miniatures flail tank
Not fun a very fiddly kit

Anybody know what these are

found a picture show them here

Loads of green stuff work

The actual flail is a right pain not a very strong wargame model I imagine there will be a lot of running repairs

Could you replace the chains with cheap jewelry chain? Maybe glue a length of thick fishing line or wire alongside the chain to support it.

I'd go with chain but leave it slack.
Also you don't know fiddly until your flail works... Admittedly mine is 1/56!

Great progress Colin. The DDs look great.

That flail tank does not look like a great casting though

Ultravanillasmurf · « **Reply #58 on:** May 06, 2020, 02:16:20 PM »

Those DD tanks look good.

Good luck with that flail.

SABOT · « **Reply #59 on:** May 06, 2020, 05:23:34 PM »

That’s a poor casting compared to the old days under Dave. The tracks , now in resin instead of metal , are a right mess!

Just got in so will sort out the info you need on the LCIs ASAP mate 👍
