Holy moley! Work of industrial 3d art!
Sigh...I'm thrilled when I manage a decent benchy...
Miles to go before I sleep.

Re: Witness the birth of a new monster...the IS-4
Got a little more work done tonight. The rear deck was screaming for some protective screens on the fans and rear grates. Cut them out of some old window screen I have in the scratch building material box.

I cleaned up the last of the print lines on the front end along with finishing the blending of the front fenders complete with fake bolt details.

I also started to do the weld details on the turret. The weld line will go all the way around the removable roof of the turret. It will help hide the separation and still allow me to remove it to work on the turret insides. Plus it's a weld line that's supposed to actually be there.

Not much progress, but fiddly progress.
That's all for now...

Not just the welding, but the texturing is remarkable. Compare the photos fresh from the printer to these most recent ones. WOW!
