Herman,

I appreciate it! It was a lot of fun but took a lot of filing, fitting, grumbling, and repeat! I still have to build the rotation feature, but now I can start working on other parts, like the extended bustle rack. Thanks for checking in.

Now to get that off to Woz or someone to recreate it with a 3D printer so that the rest of us that don't have nearly those skills could make the same modification. ;)

I'm truly flattered! I've had a huge help with the Dragon 1/35 Abrams, since I can use 3-D examples for scaling up.

Thanks, Tom

Outstanding work on that detachable gun mount Unacaina :thumbup: ...I hope you didn't "borrow" your daughters necklace in search for chain material :haha:
Really enjoying watching your tank progress :D

Paul,

Thank you very much. As you know, your Abrams build was a big inspiration, and I'm enjoying your Challenger build enormously.

Cheers, Tom
