Got a little work done last night...did all the wire details... the canvas loops it wasn't really difficult... it was like doing handrails when I used to model trains...It was fun revisiting the technique

Will post some photos after I finish the partial schurzen brackets

Hey Painless... I'm just happy she looks like a Tank ....Mike came by to take a look in person .... think he liked it too ...The one thing that becomes very noticeable is how plain the sides are... reason I am breaking from my norm of not super detailing a tank.... the schurzen hangers are definitely going to be a hazardous detail... they hang out there pretty precariously ...but they do break up the rather plain look of the sides..will be working on those tonight...probably have some pics for you all later tomorrow or the day after...before I put on the final color coats

New photos


can't see the schurzen brackets clearly..but there are there..tried to align them best I could



this is an example of " no measure" mounting of brackets lol.... yup no measuring...all by eye ...the schurzen mounts have holes in them...those were pinned afterwards for strength...the springs on the rear fenders were created the same way I did on my F2

Got rid of the big axe ..tiny shovel... and stood up the "C" shackles
She's getting there

Have to admit though... the L70 is a sexy beast

Thanks Zuul....she could go a lot further in more capable hands... but she is about where I like my tanks to be...just a few more details ... with the lights and such..but I really enjoy the "lines" of this beauty
