Joe, plan is to be there. Andy, it's a Legends set for the Sho't, has a lot of generic stuff too. HA, thanks. This is the stage in the build where I spend time just staring at it, trying to catch missed and mangled things. And thanks all!

Truth be told, I just needed to do something different. I tend to binge on a subject. That being said, I bought another Cent at the IPMS deal on Saturday, making two in the stash now. Both are AFV Club, one Sho't and one Aussie Mark5/1. I'll probably finish the AMX-13 and Magach 6 before I get into either one of those, and I have a bunch of Challenger stuff on hand, both Cr1 and -2, plus AM goodies for both. And yes, I'm lower on Patton stuff then I was last year but there's still a bunch around the model room, mostly M60 and Magach 6 stuff. I need to buy less and build more, but I'll never admit it.

Always good to change it up occasional, lately I've been bouncing around between armor and aircraft. As far as purchasing habits, you sound like me except my weakness is rifles. Every time I come home with a new or new to me one the wife just laughs at me...somehow that's worse than being yelled at

Looks great Russel. No plans to add a TC figure on this one?

Thanks all. Stik, the TC is in progress, as are a loader and driver. I need heads.... I have until February before there's another show so I have plenty of time. I didn't glue any of the hatches and the TC's is pinned and operable. I even boxed in the driver's area and mocked up a seat so I could add a torso-up fig there.

Russ
Apologies, completely missed this.
That's turned out very nice indeed.
Very well done.

I also regret that I am late to the finished product. Absolutely fantastic work Russ. Remarkable work on the paint, weathering and detailing. It has the appearance of the real thing. Thank You for sharing your skills.

Ahhhh... so it's done, bit not quite yet done. Got ya! Can't wait to see what you'll have for the crew.
