Looking good there PJ! I was originally going to say "nice rear-end"...but you probably already knew that! Suspension parts look to be falling together too...keep up the fine work! As for the part about it being quiet around here...I know I have been splitting my time between work and actually trying to build a couple things. My thought of keeping the PC just out of reach, actually promotes getting some plastic glued together!  Fun fun fun! |

So I noticed that I show a lot of completed sub-components, BUT rarely as they're be built...so here is a peek behind the curtain so to speak....
These parts are the beginning of the track tensioners....

My sincere apologies PJ - I was under the, obviously mistaken, impression this was a modelling forum, not an orthography one. I'll just go and get me red marker pen  and yes, you will regret that remark |

"orthography" REALLY..........
So here is one of the few parts I knew going in would be both cool, and very challenging... Now this may or may not be the final product. It may just turnout to be a proof of concept piece BUT.... here is the Bow Ball Machine-gun mount.
    It made from bits I got at a big box crafts store

OOPS,Me bad! I'll just go stand in the corner.  Sorry to hear about the math error. If it makes you feel any better i set one of my tool offsets on my machine at work a quarter inch to deep. Needless to say when the tool came down and hit the part it was'nt pretty.  |

Leon my friend, "Misery LOVES company"
Here is some work on the upper superstructure.
For those that have never worked on a build that is exclusively sheet stock. PLEASE note that warping is a huge issue. So that's why I reinforced the superstructure and "pinned" the fenders to the hull. Yes I actually drilled holes and then metal pinned the fender down so it will not warp.
