M1A1 Thunder Run: Finishing Turret Upgrades

[philipat]

Wow! Looks awesome! Where did you get the tiny screw eyes? Or, did you make those?

[Uncarina]

Thanks! It's all handmade, except for the casting numbers: I used Archers decals for these.

Cheers, Tom

That came out soooooooooooo well Uncarina ....Gave me an odd thought though...as when things work out so well....Mr Murphy and his Law shows up...So it might be possible that your daughter comes wandering in saying "Dad...Have you seen my pencil sharpener " ......

Something to think about ....really like how that foundation piece worked out..it was pretty resourceful how you came up with the idea


ALPHA

PS....Just a Suggestion ....get your daughter a mechanical pencil....that way you can say her old one fell and broke.....and that you were going to get her a new one....but thought a mechanical would be better as she wouldn't have to have a sharpener anymore
OR...You could fess up and say her sharpener went to a good cause ...just don't tell her it was your tank

ALPHA,

Great ideas!

Cheers, Tom

ALPHA,

The only question that might come into play..............does she have a temper .............

At LONG last, I have more or less completed the cupola conversion. Just waiting for the clear green sheet for the front optic panel.

Cheers, Tom

Wow! Very well done!

[Uncarina]

Thanks! It was a project in itself but I suspect it is the biggest hurdle in this conversion. Lot's of guesswork and studying reference photos!

Cheers, Tom
