OOh! I dunno: look at those claws and fangs! Or is that a stretch and yawn?

I've been playing with SolidWorks this weekend, remodeling the FT17 gun and adding recoil and a detachable sight tube (so it can be swapped with an IR diode).

That's quite smooth running!

Yet the cat tries to steal the show.

Righteous! Looks fantastic!
You'll need to get a couple of poilus crew shouting, "Zut alors! Le chat diabolique attaque a la derriere!"

Probably in Spanish

. I painted it in 'verde oscuro' (in Vallejo variant of it) as FT17 of the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War.
