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 ...
Pic time
