Do you have the kit? Looks like a fun build.

Bart L
I am building it now, the parts don't quite fit, so I am stuck trying to finish it, I will share when I am done. Iit is pretty cool, Renwal made some interesting science kits, so you can study anatomy and understand

Bart L
I had to scan these instructions in multiple parts, then tile them together in photoshop. this kit has been a journey!

Ben M
I've seen some of these show up sometimes at antique stores and I've thought about buying one but so far they have been too expensive for me.

gorby
That looks a hell of a brute! Excellent work, particularly with the camo and weathering.

Johne 69
Thank you gorby

Great build, paint & weathering!👍🏻

Robert Podkoński
Good job, Gorby! (and I totally accept your view at building plastic models... Of course, if one does not want to take part in any modellers' contests, like me 😉 )

Marcin Dudek
All three - tank, truck and trailer - look outstanding! I love tje painting and weathering 👏👍

gorby
Thanks very much Robert & Marcin, I'm glad you like it/them. 🙂

Alec K
Lovely build Gorb, and piss on the grumpys. Happy holidays 👍

Rui S
Accurate or not, I like them, Great work 👍

gorby
Thanks Alec & Rui.
I don't have a problem if others want to be accurate, I just hate it when they decide that MY model has to live up to their standards. Modelling should be a joy and everyone finds different aspects enjoyable - not taking it seriously is my way. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
👍

Alec K
100% agree. Don't let the bastards get you down my friend.

Łukasz Gliński
It looks grand Gorbs, nice contrast of the different camos too 👍 These 3-turret tanks are really cool

John E
Super job. I really like it!

gorby
Thanks very much for your comments. 🙂

Martin Oostrom
I like Gorbyland. A place where happy accidents lead to unique builds.
The serious blokes who don't understand can go and live in FrustrationTown.
The serious guys who do understand can visit occasionally on a temporary visa?

Nice build Gorby 👍🏻

gorby
That made me laugh Martin.
All like minded souls are welcome in Gorbyland (although it's very small so you might have to queue). 😉
Thanks for your comment.

Neuling
Very well done, gorby. Everything.

gorby
Thanks very much Neuling. It's a shame I don't have your photography skills.

Finn
Superb!

Ellis Smith
I would'nt know if its accurate or not it looks like a great model to me.

gorby
Thanks mates! 👍
I wouldn't have known it wasn't accurate either but apparently those front wheels are enough to make a grown obsessive rant. And apparently the cab is 1mm too small (or big, I can't remember now) - 1 whole millimetre!!! The shock and horror of it. 😉

Rui S
Hehehe
0h my God...

Живко Джаков
I like the original and the model is unique! And the most important thing about a hobby is that it brings us pleasure. If you like the model, then everything is as it should be.

gorby
Thanks very much for your comment.

Roberto Rocat
Great work!

gorby
Thanks Roberto! 🙂

Scott
I love it. I can only imagine how difficult it was to get everything to line up. A very cool presentation and subject.

Mark Sherwood
As the saying goes "if it looks like a duck, it's a duck" If you enjoy what you build fair play. If someone else likes your build, bonus. If someone doesn't like your build there loss. We mainly do this hobby for the enjoyment, relaxation and piece of mind and long may your builds continue. 👍🥸👍

gorby
Yes Scott is was a little fiddly in 1/72 but that just adds to the enjoyment for me.
That's just how I see it Mark. As modellers in the twenty first century we have so much to be grateful for and yet some people still complain about insignificant details. First-world problems people, first-world problems.
Thank you both for taking the time to comment, and thanks to everyone who has clicked 'like'. 👍

Mark Sherwood
👍!

Pietro De Angelis
Accurate or not, still absolutely beautiful, on this scale then!
Congrats!

gorby
Thanks very much Pietro. 👍

Wojciech Gurycz
Filthy good. A pleasure to see a model done so well.

gorby
Thanks very much Wojciech! 🙂

Jay Dubya
As a big fan of both your modelling skills and witty musings I couldn't not chime in on the accuracy of the wonderful Gorby world. Not sure if you've seen this guy's work and their reference photos, but it does put both the cruiser tank and the scammel carrier in the western desert at the same time. After all, just because their isn't a photo, doesn't mean it didn't happen!

PS - you've done you modelling friend Paul proud with an amazing job on tiny 1/76 kits.

Spanjaard
fantastic job gorby, and it you had fun with it, even better. always a pleasure to see your builds (and comments 😉 )

gorby
Thanks very much for both of your lovely comments. 🙂
Thanks Jay, that's an excellent site which may have added to my modelling to-do list. 👍

Rui S
Great site indeed. Thx for sharing 👍

Jennifer Franklin
Very nice work, gorby. I'm sorry I missed the progression, but I'm happy to see the end result.

gorby
Thanks very much Jennifer.

Neil
You maybe somewhat aware of my own attitude to complete accuracy in a build! If we all aimed for the same. Each model presented would be a carbon copy, paint by numbers affair, with little personal interpretation. Where's the joy in that! I like it very much... I know nothing about the subject, but can certainly appreciate the skill involved. Looks great mate! 👍👍

gorby
Sorry Neil I missed your comment. That 'Real Life' stuff has been keeping me a little too busy.
I agree completely, my aim is just to enjoy myself and produce something which I like....my model, my rules. 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍

Anthony lfk
Outstanding !

gorby
Thank you Anthony! 👍

Brill.

gorby
Thanks David. 👍

Mike Grant
That's really nice 👍

gorby
Thanks Mike. 🙂

Bohrmann
I only see a beautifully built model that inspires me to also make models that I hope will one day reach this level of finish. (in a 100 years or so 😁)
The photos are also of a particularly high quality, so I enjoy flicking through the album from time to time.

gorby
Thanks very much Bohrmann! From what I've seen your models will surpass mine quite soon. 😉

Oleg Smilyk
Looks great, excellent choice of theme!

gorby
Thanks Oleg. 👍
