Will be checking on your progress. I always wanted to do one but haven't found one for sale that's cheap enough yet. :haha:

Looks better now that 50 cal is in place.
Did you get rid of the molded on hinges and stuff that the troop units didn't have and filled in the lines on the sides and rear yet. With the shadow in your video I couldn't tell.
