Build is going on nicely, gonna be nice with some stowage to add life!
I like the shipping stencils you put on it

You'll be ready for D-Day!

You are correct, Kaczor: I start in on the commander and loader tomorrow, Tuesday 28 May. Oh, Kaczor, there is so much more I "coulda" "shoulda" done with this build, but I am learning. It has been fun.

I reread this thread again and I must say..... Really terrific work throughout! I know you like to lessen your abilities, but you are every bit the modeler some of us wish to become. Keep up the fantastic work.

HDP is too modest when I witness what is shared here.

Agreed, Fantastic work sir, keep it up!

You are kind and supportive, gentlemen. When I see the other Winter/D-Day builds, I am awed. Right now I am working on a fairlead for my static FAMO, a rather simple bit of scratch-building in brass that many here could accomplish better in 1/4 the time. The next step is to coat the outside with JB Weld to hide the all-too-many holes I drilled. The whole thing is an 11 mm cube overall, so I can barely see it.

That's a neat bit of brassaucity! I could've done that in 4x the time it took you, and it would've been kinda crooked. Yeah, I'm that good...

Mike.

Agreed, nice brass work. Hold you head high!

"Kinda crooked" it is, but I used a clever camera angle, the same one I will use when I mount it on the rear frame rail.

I'm looking at the crosstubes in yours and everything's comin' up 90's! Mine would be more:
