Carl!
Thank you very much, my friend. I'm just doing what I can in advance of the last parts arriving then doing some basic weathering and wrapping it up. ;o)

Painless

Wrapping it up
Where are you sending it ?
Not to Hawaii as well!!!!!

Nope - neither the General nor me have enough class to appreciate such a magnificent build.

Good morning,
Herman, apologies for the Americanism. I just meant finishing up the build.
Mike, I hope you're not being serious. If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't still be building. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Tonight after work was antenna and stowage night. I got a goodly deal of it built including ammo cans and a big crate full of something ( vino maybe? ) The resin ammo links were harder to heat and bend correctly than I had anticipated but at the end, I had an open box of .50 cal rounds to set next to the BMG.

She looks great Mr Painless! I do like how the photo makes it look like crazy Joe is about to lob a Molotov cocktail!

Tom, Good morning sir,
I think Joe would rather set himself on fire than waste good wine, ( well, liquor period ;o) It took summat more work than I had anticipated but it is definitely going to be the new leader in the tank park.

Painless

I bet Joe would dare take a swig from a malatov cocktail while burning before tossing it - just seems a bit his style

Carl! I think I'll have to build Joe a back story one of these days. The General always assumed it was women and strong drink that gave Joe his horrific expression. I don't know. Time will tell. Tonight was another evening spent with stowage. Some personal items and lots of ammo cans. I have enough packs for a crew and now I need to add strapping and weather them More as I discover spares or find items out and about. Pics:

Where do I start !?
Before you do an expose on ole Joe, how about

How the hell did you get the .50 ammo to look like that ?
Paint codes mandatory, and a technique please.

The wooden look bucket is a real nice touch................no way Id have put it on the approach-angle position, but damn it looks nice.
This thing when covered in all its accouterments is really going to look like the 'Beverly Hillbillies" rolling into L.A. !!!

Oh.............and for the picture of the view out the back window
