Good Morning,
I can see the shape coming out. This is a really cool and interesting Build! Amazing on you for your mad plastic crafting skills.

Looking good....just that cussed awkward frontal armour to do now, that will be fun. Good practice for a Chieftain though! lol

hi mcevoyi,

I do not think that you can not get the number of responses, because you build any German tank. The number of responses is not always decisive.
There's Treads I like to read and look in amazement and still nothing to write, but why still far disrespect or devaluation of me.
This also Tread of you is one of them. I simply no question and I'm not the one who will be "Wonderful" is with every post. I wait and look and enjoy

Much more important is the number of clicks on your tread. This is the real interest again.

regards Edwin...

Hi all

I just spent almost two days ...building up the front of the casement ...still some way to go to get the profile accurate ....buts so far i am happy ....and my fingers hurt

....i built the basic structure with layers of plastic card to get the form and
built up with milliput grey filler and final shapeing i am using green stuff filler
I think when i do the chieftain i will use the same idea ..but use car body filler to shape the turret front and the hull ..

I been sat here looking at the casement structure and realised that the roof of the casement where the commanders / gunners cupla's are ....is not a flat plate but almost domed ......that will be a nightmare to re create ...watch this space .....i'll get it done if my fingers can survive ?

Any way as usual ...
