Yeah I might give it a go, I'm pretty happy as is but always open to improvements

Chieftain mk5
Re: Chieftain mk5
Some more small progress on my chieftain, tonight I got the headlights fitted.
I used nano warm white SMS LEDs for the outer lights and then the opaque ones for the IR lamps as they're painted black anyway.
Also added some bolt detail to the fender supports. Hopefully once the elefant is done I can get back to the slow process of detailing this.

Thanks to the good Dr Phibes my chieftains now becoming a mk10. The printed parts are absolutely fantastic. There were a couple of adjustments needed as the dimentions of my chieftain are slightly different to the haya.

Today I've had the clay out to make the stillbrew armour. Hopefully once dried I can sand and fitness this some, however I'm really pleased with how it is so far.

A little more progress on the cheiftain mk10. I've done some tidying on the still brew, it's pretty much where it needs to be now I think. I've also added the smoke launchers. These were taken from a tamiya Abrams with some alterations

Tom, the Stillbrew is looking spot-on I see you got on top of that cut-away for the searchlight/TOGs on the left hand side really well too.
Considering where you started (it strikes me as a very difficult build/upgrade) this is a consistently high standard of simply amazing work.
Following along of course, and looking forward to your future developments for sure!

Massive thanks for the helpful hints on doing the stillbrew, gave me the shove I needed to just get on with it.
Still a lot of details to go but it feels like it's going in the right direction now and I don't have too many major obstacles to getting it to a point where it can be painted
