Stew improved upon the inaccurate suspension of the Tamiya kit by scratch building a new suspension based on bogies from a Stuart. Parts from three photo etch kits and scratch built accessories were used to add the finer details. The vehicle was hand painted. The base is foam core, cardboard, papier mache, and paper towels coated with Mod Podge then covered with soil from the yard, talc and baking soda. The ripples in the sand were created using kite string. The figures are from Alpine.
