For the most part nothing spectacular to report as far as progress goes.... just did some touch up sanding on the super structure... since my fingers were crusted up night previous... having regained "feel" it was the best time to get rid of minor imperfections
With that said and done... following the Sanding ..went on to make one of the details needed...The driver's view port

This little son of a gun took 6hrs to make

PS. M&M was consumed after photo

Only 6hrs? How did you get the peanut inside? The weathering of the "M" is fantastic!

Have you ever made something .... then after it is done...not remember the process

That's the situation with the Peanut...What I do remember is that it was much easier to get that bugger out than putting it in

Lucky for me ...blue is a Primary color

...Stay tuned Jack... I've also in my possession other primary colors of red and yellow...some secondary colors of green and orange...then one odd ball... which turned out brown

Alpha,
Very good job on crafting the viewport. ;o) Was that a modded piece or a plastic nubbin you sat down with and turned into a usable part?

Well it started out as a cut out from a Tamy Panzer IV.... then turned into a nubbin ... which I to sit down with to turn into a usable part
It was a fun.... but oh so the challenge... as the angle of the bulkhead changed the look totally... so I had to keep at it till it sat right.... took six hours to make... less than a few seconds to install

Made more parts...less than an hour each
The irony is ....it will probably take 8+ hours to install

Not much progress to report.... all I got done was marking out where the hatches needed to go... had a surprise delivery on tuesday...Parts which it seems the Post office lost track of... came in earlier than expected ...so I had to sort through that stuff first...Mentally sidetracking... as now it makes me want to start another tank...but it will have to wait
