Yes! This looks exciting! I'm intrigued to see how this one progresses and I will be keeping my eye out on it!

A little more progress this morning. The turret is finished apart from the snorkel that will get added soon.

Of course, one of the handrails had to break but I managed to do a repair job on it, was also a little surprised that it was just the one. :grin:

Vladimir is almost ready to take command as well.

It's now ready for all the separate bits to be joined together. Just need to find my lock de-icer to join the tracks and I'll be sorted.

Looks good and coming along nicely but why 'Lock de-icer' Ken.

It's one of those funny gadgets, you slide the thing into the lock on your car, it gets warm and thaws the lock. I never got it to work on the car but it is perfick for joining tracks. It makes a really nice join. :grin:

I too was thinking you would be spraying liquid de-icer on the tracks - I couldn't work out why, but with modelling, nothing people do should be a surprise any more!

Calling this one done. First finish of the new year. I will at some point come back to it and attempt a bit of weathering on it but I figured I'd better take some pictures of it before I cock it up too much. :grin:
