Not yet, thought I would get it properly finished with a crew and stowage first

This is marvellous Tom :clap: :clap:
For a tank, it looks kinda "sporty" and with the storage on the back, it makes me think of the Dakar Rally lol.

Here's one for you :thumbup:

Stonking, it means impressive, fantastic, wonderful etc. :thumbup:

But as you used the word beautiful, you could say it is splendiferous, meaning excellent, very beautiful, special or extraordinarily impressive, and yes, it is a real word.

You've made a good thing even better, Tom; a beautiful finish that fleshes out the war-weary StuG. The heavy mudding looks great with the craquelure paint chipping and mounds of stowage, they give a great sense of a lived-in machine that's been there and done that (and is doing it again tomorrow).

I'm curious though, do the pendulum skirts swing when the vehicle's in motion? Did they in real life?
