Hahahahaha!  The cup of the carpenter is an optional extra. 

Seriously though, I think if you are only ever going to buy one tank in your life (as if!). This is it.

That's nice, could they modify it into a real version of the International Tank (with all the MGs) so I could use in a VACV (Very American Civil War).

Why not just take the Vickers Independent?

It really is a quite fantastic model.

Can't wait to see one painted up.

Well done on the sculpting.

Actually, looking at Copplestones latest releases, my thoughts went to the Ian McKellen version of Richard III that reputedly led to the VBCW gaming trend.

Why? Well, I was drawn to the figure of Henry V and wondered how he might look as the tank commander.... VBHYW perhaps?

That tank is only a bit sexy because it's had some exposure. That aside, I find it a pig.
