Thanks chaps, your comments are very encouraging. I got the suspension and wheels in place now but alas, my production facilities have been evacuated to the East. I did carry some of the stuff and tools with me to Qawra but output here falls to a low rate since the kitchen table has to double as a work bench and I have to contend directly with the floor manager's intererence.....might try flour instead of pigments for the dusting.
Put on the running gear and did a third take on the engine deck rear cover - got better results this time. Next step is a start on the ground work and some figgies. [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=85&u=16292841][/url]
Judging by the pics, i think you did an awesome job and the tank looks absolutely real, as real as it can get, well done, amazing work. Looking forward to seeing the entire set up.
