Looking good AG!!! I was just telling Fightnjoe this morning how I am leaning back to the soft armor once more and less show cars... I haven't lost my passion for cars, just feeling that calling again!!!  As someone that's relatively new getting back into the hobby I'm still trying to find what I really like. As a kid I built cars and armor but now I have so many other interests I don't know what to do first. I think it's time I jump back into some armor stuff to get my feet wet. |

Robert thank you ! Rustybaer thank you ! Bruce thank you ! I,ll see if I can find a good reference photo of the turret interior to scratch a minimum of details. I'm really liking this build a lot. Somewhere I'd seen photos of where they used old armor for target practice on the shooting range. I had always thought that would be a cool diorama |

Thank you guys, I'm glad you like the idea. I'm scratching a simplified, rudimentary turret interior based on reference photos. The next days however I'll be helping a hand with the makeover of my daughter's house so all will be quite at the bench.

Hey guys, back with just a small update. I'm scratching the turret basket and some stuff in it as it doesn't have to be a complete battle ready fighting compartiment, it's just a rusty abandoned one. There's more to do, as there is the gunner's seat which looks complicated.  |

Thank you Mark, I'm not sure if I will tackle it but I'm having fun and that's what it's all about. The turret basket is not done but I managed to make a start with the grenade racks.  |
