Stunning build Mark. Are you sure this isn't actually a full sized landing craft that you found in some abandoned shipyard? VERY REALISTIC. I've never attempted weathering a model. Something to add to my bucket list. Mark Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500
Prior builds: Mayflower, USS Constitution, Academy 1/800 USS Kitty Hawk, Revell's 1/48 A 10 Warthog
Under the Bench:
On Hold: Revell's 1/48 P 61 Black Widow; AL L'Hermione La Fayette

Thank you for your kind words Walter. This is my first military vehicle I’ve put together. Watched some videos and looked at pictures to get it to look right. Mark

A little more done to the craft. I have pretty much finished the weathering, just the machine guns to finish off with the ammunition and the control panels with compasses. Then it is just adding the rope to the hull. More soon. Markwarren attached the following image(s):

Finished the landing craft part of this diorama. Both machine guns have been painted and put in place as well as the fenders. The rope was soaked in tea and some oils were added to give that weathered look. More soon. Markwarren attached the following image(s):
