Thanks mates. I'm pleased how it turned out as well, and hugely relived the build is over. 🙂

a true work of art and love. you truly succeeded. and a wonderful homage to Ella!

Fantastic ending, sir! Very much a labor of love, especially with Ella's involvement.

What a wonderful model!
It's best to visit an exhibition - you'll get lots of questions about where to find this kit 😉

Thanks very much mates, I'm quite taken aback by your lovely comments. 🙂
I know all to well what would happen if I took it to a show Frank, there would be a continuous stream of people telling me that the mechanics don't make sense and wouldn't work - something i already know. 😄 😄

another gorgeous build of the wonderful and weird from gorby!
Can you you send the mechanical experts to me? I still struggle to understand how the Millenium Falcon works …

Thanks Thomas. 🙂
If I were to scratch-build the Milenium Falcon I'd be wondering were to fit the steam boiler and the coal bunker. 😄

Gorby, I watched with great interest the whole progress of the construction. Your scratchbuil skills are top notch and the result of your efforts is truly phenomenal. 👍
I agree with bughunter, I'm sure there would be plenty of people at the show who would want to know what kit you used to build the model. 🙂

It is not easy to grasp that this model is made entirely of bits of styrene and other bits of material. I had estimated the model to be larger until I saw comparison with the pot of Tamiya paint.
The little dog fits in perfectly. Respect for your skills and dedication.

Thanks Bohrmann. I find scratch-building to be a good way of keeping my brain ticking over. I enjoy trying to work out how I can make things out of what I have available (god forbid I have to spend money 😄 ). Sometimes it helps me keep my mind off the world falling apart. Unfortunately, as with many modellers when I view the completed model all I see are the mistakes.
Thanks for your comment. 👍

Wow, I wouldn't know it was scratch built if you hadn't told us. The dog is a nice touch.

Capt: Ella preferred watching the telly rather than listening to records. 😄

Thanks very much Mick!
It always surprises me when people are so enthusiastic about my builds. When I look at the photos all I see are the things I should have done better. 😄
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and likes.

Gorby, I'd say that's the "curse" of most modelers. No model is absolutely perfect. Only more or less close to perfect. It's natural that as the author of your model, you know all of its (even if only minimal) flaws and things you'd like to do better. The rest of us see "only" the result of your work. And I can assure you that what we see is very good indeed. 👍👍👍

Another masterpiece.
There is an A7V in Australia.

Thanks mates. 🙂
Wim: I wasn't impressed with the Gasoline range either and certainly not impressed with the prices. Mine cost probably 1/3 of what that kit cost and I enormously enjoyed the built – probably more so than any kit I've ever done.
Wilky: At least the Aussies had the sense to save one – I'm glad they did.

Holy s#*t Gorby. This is AmazIng! I am about halfway done reading the brexit thread and... the rivets, THE RIVETS!!! Very educational, and definitely very entertaining. Not surprised you left this boring lot for the "others"😉 😄. I am starting a scratchbuilding project myself, but it will be of kinder garden variety compared to your undertaking. Cheers 👍
27 April 2019, 13:10
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Wow, impressive work Gorby. The build log on Brexit is awesome. I'm going to use that rivet idea for sure! Oh and I did get the Kryten reference. I saw an episode filmed!
27 April 2019, 14:01
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks very much mates!😉
The rivets were far from the most enjoyable part of the build but these early tanks would look naked without them. I'll look forward to your scratch-build Alec, no doubt it will be astounding.

![](/profiles/img/18819-984-s.jpg)
Thank you for your nice words gorbygould, but I think they're a bit exaggerated. I've still a lot to learn with Mates here, including with you 🙂

Beautiful work, just finished one in 35th but doesn't compare well done
2 May 2019, 11:32

beautiful work.. only thing that comes to mind is the floating of the tank on the barbwire... but very, very nice build and groundwork...
2 May 2019, 12:00
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks very much mates. 🙂
Scott: I was well impressed with your build and I referred to your photos to help with mine, so thanks.
Bart: Yes that bugs me as well. I did put a load of lead inside the tank, but it isn't heavy enough to weigh it down sufficiently. I'm going with the experimental super extra heavy-duty barbed wire excuse.😉

Thanks for the offer Scott but I've mentally moved on to my new project. 🙂
My workroom needs to be stripped and rebuild before that can start though. 🙁

![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Tanks are not my metier, but this 100% scratched model is really impressive 😳 Very nice ideas in build report, and even the tracks are scratched 👍
3 May 2019, 15:09
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks very much Frank, your praise has made my day! 🙂
Up until this, tanks were of little interest to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this build, probably more than any model I've ever done. It kept my brain working right to the end. I'm not saying that there will be no more aircraft from me, but there will certainly be more AFV in my near future. 👍

Thanks Capt & Pietro.
I would have loved to add some figures Capt, but certainly at the time this was built there were no WWI British troops available in 1/48.
4 June, 06:40
![](/profiles/img/109768-971-s.png)
Well done! Again, hats off to your scratch building skills Too bad there are no pictures of the building process.
4 June, 08:11
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks Bohrmann. 👍
I did do a full build report...on another site, a site which has now unfortunately died. It was only yesterday I removed the dead link to the report - I don't know if that pushed this post to the top of the feed, I though that just happened when you added more photos.
Thanks all for your comments and likes. 🙂
4 June, 08:19
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks Kesa. This was my first full scratch build - I only built it because there wasn't many WWI vehicles or tanks in 1/48 at the time. It sort of got me hooked on scratch building. 🙂

Welcome to the show Alex and thanks very much. 🙂
The buildy bit is nearly complete so, as usual I'm playing catch-up with the report. Hopefully another update tomorrow. 🙂
10 August, 16:35
![](/profiles/img/17350-555-s.jpg)
Front row seat, on the bleachers, please Gorby. I wouldn't want to crane my neck to see!
11 August, 01:47
![](/profiles/img/56165-775-s.jpg)
Another build in the series "What's gorby up to now?" Be honest, though. The only reason you didn't have orange flares was that you couldn't get over the fence at the local airfield to steal a couple of windsocks!
11 August, 08:28

11 August, 08:41
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
That made me laugh John. 😄
Kesa: I like to buildodd looking vehicles some of which are converted from standard kits. I looooove scratch building.
Thanks both for tagging along. 🙂
11 August, 09:00
![](/profiles/img/144821-523-s.jpg)
Scale models can be converted? So like a F111 model could be fitted with a nuke even though the original model didnt have one?
11 August, 09:03
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Definitely Kesa, there is a whole range of aftermarket conversions you can buy or if you are feeling adventurous, some conversions are reasonably easy to scratch build yourself. I have a couple of drawers full of plastic sheet of various thickness and plastic and metal rods, tubes, strips etc. I once saw a fantastic large scale scratch build of a B17 build that used the plastic from yogurt pots as the skin.
