E) Heavy Sniper

This is an old Matchbox 1/32nd scale Patton tank I picked up for £3.00 a couple of years ago that I slammed together and sprayed up recently. The base is another picture frame/plaster job with scenic scatter. The tank was pressed into the plaster when it was semi-set to create proper sit and track marks leading backwards. The tree trunks are twigs from an apple tree, and are the basis for two trees that the tank is sitting between. The camouflage netting hides a lot of poor detail on the Matchbox kit that I really didn't want to correct. The additional foliage on the tank is dried fern superglued into position. Just have to weather the tank, finish the trees and add the barrel, and it's just about done!
