Funny Uncarnia....I was just thinking about that skull...if you wanted to make it totally different from your 1/35th build....you could add some hair and make it appear more like a shrunken head
....the chicken bones you just mentioned would be the topping on the cake
...anyway...it's just a thought I had...pretty warped eh???????????

A little bit of an update: I added more of the casting numbers to the rear deck, removed the fuel filler cap bars (I will be replacing these), and made some progress to the cupola conversion:
Here's my 1/35 counterpart. I will be printing this photo and enlarging it to 1/16 scale as a template:
Cheers, Tom

That looks pretty darn good Uncarina...where did you locate that cupola base...It's a really nice foundation piece

Thank you! I "borrowed" the cap of my daughters electric pencil sharpener--it was the perfect diameter and shape, with some modification to the height.
Cheers, Tom

A m1a1 copula that you are intending to upscale to 1/16. If so a lot of people will be following how you do it so they can make a 1/16th m1a1 out of the HL M1A2.
Be nice to see a M1A1 on the Abrams thread.
