Very neat work! You can add the cast numbers to the C clamps if you want to add more detail ;)

Either there is some extremely clever hand-held hot die (and the knife in the earlier photo is to mislead us) or Keere, you are the world's most patient modeler. And those neatly marked containers of hardware suggest the latter.
thanks, it is indeed a time consuming job. but it makes the details much nicer.
i will do a hobby room tour sometime, but here are 2 pictures

That is indeed a very good idea, I have not come across that yet, do you have any idea where these can be purchased?

Your welds look better than I can produce on the farm (or on my models). Fantastic work!

Love this build Mate. I have a similar build started with a 105mm barrel which I obtained from MK Modellbau. Would you mind telling me how thick is the plasticard you used on the front and at what angle you set it at. Regards John.
