That would be great. I'll need some assistance scratching the mount!

Rad - I'll be sure to document the build step by step.

HL dshk from a ztz off eBay arrived - built and filled/primed.

Muzzle drilled.

Going to test fit this with the scratch cupola and mount before I commit to the shapeways one.
