Hi guys,

Most of you are probably familiar with this kit, quite basic and simple to build. I wanted to put it into a mini diorama and paint it as though it were a 1914 period black and white photograph. Not as easy as it sounds but I am happy with it. The biggest task was posing the figures and doing the cut-and-shut of the arms and legs, and I may yet readjust the angle of the heads.

The WIP is here.

This is the look I was going for:

And this is what I got:

Hope you like it!

You need to stretch those wheels and tires to look like your reference material.

 

But seriously- cool build.
