Simon, always a treat to see your latest. Inspiring stuff when you realise how much went into producing a scheme like that. I particularly like the way you've extended the camouflage and weathering down into the trolley.....
See you at TankF?

This Porsche turret build of yours is really making me wish I hadn't sold my Porsche turret kit.

thank you all for posting, its good to know the build generates some feedback even though its been on before in some form or another, i am going to finish of the inside of the tank, tidy the paintwork ready to fit the motion pack then back to the last stage to finish the model, is there such a thing as a finished model?, thanks again simon.

Simon, I must have some form of incurable addiction to your builds, one photo just isn't enough. People with my condition need one of those clever 3D things where you can rotate and look at it from every angle. Just means we'll have to see it in October. Inspiring stuff as ever, you're really pushing the art of finishing these models to new heights. State of the art ....
All the best.
Stephen

With more positive language, the alternative is a 'Gravel Cruncher' or more simply, a 'Track Breaker' model of a Tank. Denny knows how to demonstrate those terms
.
It certainly keeps the public entertained as people work to refit a new link, people just love watching others working

Great job Simon, looking forward to seeing it October.
No chance of getting my paint job anywhere near to yours so I am now considering just blasting it with some old Halfords rattle cans (orange and silver should stand out)
Regards
Steve
