Got a little bit more done. Might have to start on the hull because I am now waiting on parts for the turret eg recoil mech etc, before I can do the mantle and main gun ;)

Brilliant work on the hull Oztruck. What plans are you using or are you scaling up from a kit? Tamiya 1/25 or AFV 1/35? I have the Tamiya kit and am thinking of using this to get my measurements from the more I see of yours the more I want to build one! thinking of maybe doing the AVRE version the Brits used in Gulf war 1 with the extra armour.
Keep the pics coming  ;)

Cheers Ian
