AWESOME

Are you doing both types of shells

[AlwynTurner]

I've only done the one on the left so far but no reason not to do the other as well
Here's both rear racks in and a first coat of olive drab on the hull with the hairy stick.




I like to get a coat of paint on when an area is finished being assembled, it just looks so much better!

By popular demand we now have 2 different shells for thew ammo racks. I'm guessing one is armour piercing while the other is high explosive but I'm no ammunition expert.


Next I'll print some off.

Awesome

Yes, the shorter yellow one is High Explosive, and the longer black one is Armour Piercing

Ammunition supplies prepared for action.


High explosive and armour piercing ready to load.

Just the lower hull racks to do and the turret is about complete.

Just need to print off another three and the design/print stage is finished. I'm busy preparing the build instructions and then the stls will be available to,purchase.

Well there's been a bit of a slowdown over the last few days, my better half has just spent 2 weeks in the local hospital with what turned out to be pancreatitis caused by gallstones, but she came home last week and promptly developed covid.

Anyway normal service should resume in the next couple of days.

What an unfortunate turn of health problems. I wish her a complete turn-around to renewed health. When all is well again, perhaps you two can take a romantic trip to, say, Bovington.

[AlwynTurner]

Thank you for the good wishes, unfortunately in her generosity she passed on the dreaded lurgi, so we are both suffering together. Maybe in a couple of days all will be more normal. I like the Bovington idea though
