All I had to do was to equip the model with powerful propulsion system and ensure good traction, and to that end the tracks were fitted with rubber attachments recently released by LEGO. The performance part was actually easy, given that the original tank’s shape is already optimized for handling obstacles. The goal of my model was to look accurate and perform well. It was the first Mark tank to need just one driver – quite an achievement by 1917 standards. The V isn’t drastically different from Mark I, whose model I’ve built in 2008 as my first actual model of a real tank – it was more of an improvement, fitted with a stronger engine, new transmission and new brakes. It was the last of the British “parallelogram tanks” to participate in the Great War – the Brits would go on all the way to Mark X, but the war was already over by then. The original Mark V was built exactly 100 years ago and saw combat 99 years ago. I haven’t built a tank model in nearly a year, so this was about time I made one.
