"Sometimes complex problems are solved with simple solutions. Today we will see another clear example of this thinking. The vehicle described in this report, the result of English ingenuity, presented a quick and simple solution to the problem of allowing vehicles to quickly and safely cross difficult terrain, under conditions of enemy fire.

The text is quite fascinating. The details of the model construction do remind me of why I stick to 1/72 scale though.In that scale even the much mocked "wargames only" AFVs can be made to look good, with some work and raiding the spares box. For me the Italeri Jumbo is a prime example. 1/35 does require MUCH more work (and room to store the wretched things) |

I don't think this meets your requirement for Deadhead for looking good, but it definitely is wargames only. I've been designing my own models and having them 3D printed for a while now. I made this to mount on a PSC Churchill In the 'Funnies' category I also made a CDL, and in the not so funny category I also have a few terrapins for me to do Op Infatuate (Walcheren) with. Shop bought, I've got a few other weird bits of armour too, but the ARK is a bit of a rarity!
If anyone would like the design files just shout. |
