That's all I get to see? Tease.

Looks very smooth. Great sounds. Turret rotation seems smooth and steady, but what was the click all about? The recoil was just right, and very believable. The effect you got with the canvass mantlet cover during elevation is very impressive. I'd really like to see more video. She looks fantastic. How does the suspension perform?
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Chip time!

Took bloody ages but I think it looks ok?

Got to tone down the colours now with a filter wash and then finish with a pin wash and pigments.
