Well I think it's gonna be a great tank and I certainly appreciate your work and details...
But, I have a hard time not thinking it's some sort of S&M Dungeon apparatus in it's current color scheme

UK tankers, if there is any chance of a Coolbank Crusader in that color, please let me know. I don't know if I will ever have any use for Khaki Green No. 3, but I was immediately interested. Here are two links for Vallejo paints, the kind I use most often:

Thank you for the name, blimp! I see potential for lots of useful information as I learn more.

Crikey! I just finished adding 32 boltheads to my Stuart and felt like a quivering mass of protoplasm afterwards. And none required precision spacing or levelling on a long line. Stunning work on your A13...and supreme patience!
I felt better after a small glass of Dun Beaghan. You must use a pint glass.
And even the heat wrap on the exhaust elbows! Absolute stunner!
