Thank you!

The masonry is finished on one of the casemates.
It is ready to receive all the small finishing refinements such as the rivets not to mention them.
I only have one left to finish but it's already underway.

I never really liked the look of World War 1 tanks, until I saw this one. That's very cool and you're doing a really great job on it. I'll be watching.

A good balance of skill and determination here. :thumbup: The end result should be a museum-quality model. :clap:

After a long break, the 116 axle greasers are in place allowing me now to put around them the stirrups.
Once these 116 stirrup are in place, I'll only have to glue a nut at each end to put an end of these details on the "running gear".

Hi!
Sooo, this long term project is coming along nicely, slowly but surely.
I already achieved the upper casemate, the main central body and remained the four sides to "dress".
Though the two inner ones are already in progress as is the left outer one, it is now time to show the right hand side completed with its complete set of road rollers greasing ends, rivets and bolts.
Thanks for looking!
