Hey Alpha! Have you settled on a name for your M1? Greengiant's is named after his username here. Mine is Nub Nub (because my Leo2 is named Bun Bun hehehehe!). Although the tanks are usually named based on the company (A Company has tanks named with A like Assassin, Apocalypse; C Company tanks are Crater Magnet, Cojone Eh; so on and so forth) it isn't a hard and fast rule (like the four tanks of 3rd Platoon, Charlie Company, 2nd Bde, 3ID named after the four 9/11 flights). I vote you name yours Thunderbolt, which is the name of Creighton Abrams's M4 tank. It would be fitting since the M4 is Saunders High's main tank, so yet another link to GuP. :D

The center lens doesn't show up well in the light...sorry gang...it's storming outside...too many shadows in the house to illuminated that lens...mostly because it's a double laminent ....clear on the outside with the tinted one behind it ;)

Didn't show the construction because of the weather...it's bad...didn't want to get caught painting in the dark
