I have built a British Universal Carrier Mk.II which has just been completed.
It's been awhile since I've built models. So I'm a little rusty.
And so I would like to thank Hamilkar Barkas, Norm, and many more. for giving me back the interest. Good video and pictures on how to do guides hints and tricks.
And here are a couple of photos
hope you like it.

Thanks
Martin "Swede"

Oh my.
Martin this is a great piece.
A nice start for your return... I don't think that you're as rusty as you think.
Nice base too.
Did you make that name plate yourself or did you have it made in a trophy shop?

Looks superb! I don“t think you were that rusty because the nice job on the figures and the cool weathering are really perfect.

I've done it myself at work in a laser engraving machine
simple and fast.

Rusty? I beg to differ! That looks great, and I love those little leaves, are they PE?
Nice work Swede!

Nice work Swede!

Thank you so much.
The leaves is from Joe Fix.
Wanted to do a diorama in the autumn.

Would like to thank everyone for the nice words.
This model is the first one I've built in 22 years. A long break
and the first diorama.
It took a long time to build six months but I completed it.
And I'm happy with the result.
