Sorry MT, just seen this. I'm useless Lol.
Maybe you need to audition for a new cat...one with a bit more " wow what the hell is that " about it. The functionality was awesome, that cat needs to understand who's buying the food. THere is no such thing as a free meal. Have a stern word bud. Personally my cat drives me crazy. I love dogs. I have inherited a cat. I am allergic to cats. My cat is a pain in the ass. I want to go out...I want to come in...I want to go out..AAAARRRRGGGHHH.
Wakes me up at 4am to go out!!!!
Jeez...i actually love the cat.

Not sure they understand who's buying the food!
I think I should be grateful they accept to eat the food I'm giving them
they're the kings of the house, I'm their slave!!Re: Scratchbuilt Churchill Mk.IV AVRE SBG

I finally took it outside in the park after 2 years running in the garden!
It's a great runner, I just lost one wheel and I never found it despite my efforts. So I decided to print another (and 44 more, that's how I decided to build a second Churchill, printing one wheel or 45, that's the same time!! I just did forget how painful it was to build the whole suspensions
).
I did some beauty shots

It's a great looking tank. If I needed another project I'd build one, but I need another project like I need another hole in my head...

MonsieurTox, what excellent work on the Churchill AVRE 
And thank you for immediately trying a black-and-white photo, too, for that vintage look. You explained that a wheel had gone missing, so I looked for one wheel looking new and relatively unweathered.

Thank you guys!
The missing wheel is on the other side but I did not lost it yet when I took the pics
I still have to paint the new wheel but I'll do when I'll paint the other Churchill

This Churchill was not really finished, I have some more details to add like the episcopes and it was missing the Besa machine guns.
I finally took the time to 3D model the Besa using real blueprints.
I printed them, unfortunatly most of it will be hidden inside the tank.
In the turret :
Bow Besa machine gun :
I'm happy with the result, that's a small detail but it fill a blank ! Now the episcope and this Churchill will be complete (less the SBG gear).
