Herman,
I appreciate it! It was a lot of fun but took a lot of filing, fitting, grumbling, and repeat! I still have to build the rotation feature, but now I can start working on other parts, like the extended bustle rack. Thanks for checking in.
Tom

Now to get that off to Woz or someone to recreate it with a 3D printer so that the rest of us that don't have nearly those skills could make the same modification.

I'm truly flattered! I've had a huge help with the Dragon 1/35 Abrams, since I can use 3-D examples for scaling up.
Thanks, Tom

Outstanding work on that detachable gun mount Unacaina

...I hope you didn't "borrow" your daughters necklace in search for chain material
Really enjoying watching your tank progress

Paul,
Thank you very much. As you know, your Abrams build was a big inspiration, and I'm enjoying your Challenger build enormously.
Cheers, Tom

ALPHA,
Thanks for watching! I actually had to raid one of my old ship model kits...
Cheers, Tom
