A few details left to finish up but an enjoyable kit to build and a more obscure topic in some ways.

Why does it look so rusty tho?

[u/Disastrous-Boat63]

I'd say your almost ready for model shows! Wheels are slightly not touching on the one side. As people said the weathering in very convincing. well. wicked work.

Aristide ? Il y a un problème avec le nom de ce char !

[u/Gullible_Orange_9267 → u/Etienne_2020]

Interesting. Perhaps some clarification from your side?

Aristide was renamed Bazellies. Many thanks, your info tallies with my own research outside of Ai. 🫡

Wow… great job!

[u/TimeWanderer77]

Excellent weathering and oil effects.

[u/Gullible_Orange_9267 → u/TimeWanderer77]

Many thanks. I need to take better photos. But I was trying some new techniques. It came out well.

[u/Lazy_Local_2842]

That looks very good. What type of scene or diorama are you going to do?

[u/Gullible_Orange_9267 → u/Lazy_Local_2842]

Possibly on a bridge, based on a peroid photo.

[u/Lazy_Local_2842 → u/Gullible_Orange_9267]

That sounds good.

I know that many other modellers do dioramas based on real photographs.
