Glad you came in with that info Giant...now I don't have to make that junction box...and just concentrate on recreating all the hand grips :crazy:

Also ALPHA the A2 and A2v1 did not have the gps antenna. Their electronics packages were to simple to use it as a means of integrating all so equipped vehicles into a visual picture on a screen that could be used inside the turret to manage all attached vehicles movements like the V2 has.

I think I'm satisfied with the result:

If ever it's "too aggressive," I can "fill it in" by giving it a coat of acrylic paint.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM...Before I say anything ATG...can you put a hand of a figure next to the stones? As it stands right now it looks a little too course...but I could be mistaken because of the bold black on the tan backdrop

Is that grip strips for staircases? I like how you cut the piece to fit....but judging by it's thickness...think you might loose a lot of detail covering the entire turret and hull...dunno for sure...mostly because of the contrast of light and dark

Yeah, anti-slip from the hardware. Notice that I've cut it that there's space between it and the details. This is so the details won't disappear. I'll "blend" the anti-slip to the rest by applying acrylic paint on the edges and then giving the whole tank a primer before painting proper.

Other than some details on the CROWS-2, conversion of the turret is DONE with the addition of details in the pic below, details that I have no idea what those are called hehehehehe

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...........So does that mean you are going to do all the grab handles???? 8O ...There is quite a bit of area you will need to cover with that stuff...would like to see it in one color though...easier to scale that way ;)
