OOh! I dunno: look at those claws and fangs! Or is that a stretch and yawn?

I've been playing with SolidWorks this weekend, remodeling the FT17 gun and adding recoil and a detachable sight tube (so it can be swapped with an IR diode).

Spoiler of the final model . Some more photos tomorrow.
Video of the test drive - https://youtu.be/ANtTDscP8hI. Sorry for the quality, but I never did any videos.

That's quite smooth running! Yet the cat tries to steal the show.

Righteous! Looks fantastic!
You'll need to get a couple of poilus crew shouting, "Zut alors! Le chat diabolique attaque a la derriere!"

Probably in Spanish . I painted it in 'verde oscuro' (in Vallejo variant of it) as FT17 of the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War.

A sweet, smooth running model.

Promised final images

Close-up shots of the turret and gun. I oversized Girod Ugin; it was done in 4mm letters. I think 3mm would be closer to the right size.
