Added some details and a first coat of paint. There is a little more work to do underneath the breach, but it will have to wait until I work on the floor/basket of the turret.

I hope to. Have a second HL M4A3 inbound to donate parts for this build.
For the scratch builders out there.... I dropped by a plastics dealer in the Denver area. They did not stock .080 styrene (but had other sizes in stock), but they did have some in California's warehouse and are transferring some in for me (any time now). Tax and all was $44.00 for a 4x8 foot sheet (you guys across the pond will have to do your own figuring). I am planning to cut it into 1x2 foot sections. Buck and a quarter (or so) sq/ft!
Was called Regal Plastics, now owned (and called) Piedmont Plastics.

Going to be real interesting seeing how you use the elevation unit from a HL...It is possible from the underside of the Turret...but you would probably have to remove the Battery box
Made a template for the exhaust diffuser, figured it be about the same work as modifying the stock part (again). In the process of fabbing the gun shield.
