It might help if you told us more about the whippet...(Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I don't know what a Whippet tank is!)

It's kind of an intermediate tank between WWI and WWII tanks. With a small turret.

I found a pic of a British Whippet tank from 1918, with a small, but not turnable turret with two or three machineguns. Is this your Whippet, or is there a later model?

Just a question before I start: thatīs the pic I found. At first I thought it shows the backside of the tank, but after a closer look Iīm not sure, can you help me?
I also saw that Mark tank so I think you prefer an isometric view?

Here is a site I found with similar pictures of early armor. I thought the same thing as you but that is the front of the tank. Thanks for the picture & help!

Yes. I would consider the next step in tank development the French Renault tank. The first being the Mark IV I coaxed from Nemo a while back. Maybe this is the start of a modpack for the 1900's. Call it "A History of the 20th Century, with Illustrations" after one of my favorite short stories by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Ok, here is my first try. I tried to add as much details as possible, but I found it a bit difficult, due to the unusal form of the tank...tell me if itīs ok so, or what should be changed.

BeBro, you are a truely skilled artist. All of your units seem to emanate a certain perfection to them. Do you by any chance work as a graphics artist? If not, you might want to consider it.
