Re: Ludwig Cromwell
A rather slow process on this one. After 1 and a half hours on it this week all I have managed is the hull mg bracket and several turret roof test fits. Perhaps I shouldn’t have built the turret whilst handicapped but with a little shaving and filling it will look ok, I may even scratch some weld lines in the filler

Re: Ludwig Cromwell
I don't know if you've invested in any of the add ons for your Cromwell from shapeways Mr. brute but I would highly recommend them if you haven't, I bought quite a few bits for my own build and they enhance it's appearance greatly from the standard flat pack kit

Bit more done. If anyone can suggest any hinges for these or print files it would be helpful

Re: Ludwig Cromwell
So short of time today I thought I will just assemble the drivers hatch. 2 hours later, longer than I planned and not yet fixed to the tank. Here it is

Re: Ludwig Cromwell
Progress here has slowed a little as I have so many things to do including trying to build some diorama, that being said slow progress is progress, over the last few weeks with this, the commanders hatch has been done, storage bins Finnish apart from filler and hinge, engine bay sides added and mounting axels cut for suspension swing arms
