Well this is beginning to be like one of those magazines that you buy each week and you get a piece of the tank, except you have to make the pieces yourself but at least it doesn't cost you anything! :haha: :haha:

That's the rear end finished apart from the barrel lock and a couple of small pieces on the lower part of the back end

Fantastic work Alwyn! I'm continually amazed the quality of prints you're achieving. If in a moment of madness you decide to sell the beast let me know!!
