Bruce HuxtableAudrius, that is very generous of you, but I have no idea how to go about achieving the results you have here. Your work is inspirational ?

Audrius NBruce, I appreciate your kind words. However practice makes perfect. I guess you know it already 🙂

Marek WręczyckiSveikas Audrius,
It looks great!
Im about to build FT-17 "Slibinas", for my wife, as she always asks to build some Lithuanian tank 😄
Do you have some more reference materials, like drawings with dimensions, regarding Maxim mount (I'd build only the external part) ?
Another question is what would be the standard green shade for this tank, or in general for Lithuanian Armed Forces vehicles in around mid 1920's?
Best Regards!

Audrius Nyour wife have a good taste I would say 😉
will see what I have and would share over email. As to Green color , there is no historical color video, foto reference. The only what I found is the written recollection of LT solder , who described the color as " greyish-green". Thus I say that starting with Olive Drab is a good point.

Album info
One of 12 FT-17 tanks bought by Lithuania in 1923.
There were 2 with cast turret, the rest were with riveted turrets. All of them were given own names written on turrets. Mine build shows "Giltinė" (engl. Reaper) with a riveted turret.
