Hi Jeff, how great it is! Beautiful! I have one in my stash, so I will peak so now and then. Nice reference. What's about the turret? Wrong one in the box?

Thanks for the comments.
@ Tini - The turret is from the kit. I just added Mr. Surfacer 500 to look a little more like cast steel.
@ Treehugger- They're the kit plastic ones in the box. I read somewhere British tracks had a high magnesium content so they didn't oxidize brown as quickly as German & American vehicles. I just started weathering with a grey basecoat instead of brown.

Looks great. Very well done. Did you build the wall from individual bricks?

Thanks for the comments. The bricks were cut individually from cork. If I did it again I'd use pink insulation foam.

I don't think I would have the patience for individual bricks. My hat off to you sir. Given how good it looks though, perhaps I will ask Santa for some more patience.
