Hello All,
I posted this under the other link on the campaign page as well, but if you hit my link I've taken some pictures of the EAPU's that I cast. John sent you an email about these.

These are casts from the one out of the tamiya kit, which is the most accurate so far, even the legends production EAPU is wrong. I could cast a couple more before the mold wears out. Contact me via email.

Started on the 14th at work, lucky me, I actually get to do this stuff on the afternoon and night shifts.
Posted some photos in "my gallery". Don't know how to post them any place else, or if there is a special page to post the in progress photos.

I have the lower hull built and I am making the correction to the front of the turret (Trumpeter kit). I chose it because of the price and I like the textured non-slip finish on the surface. It is not the best kit I have ever built but I am having fun and learning a lot about modern AFV's. Photos soon to follow.
Are we going to have an album to post the completed models in, or our we to post in our own albums?

Here is a photo of my slow progress on the Hobby Craft kit. There are a lot of problems with this kit. But for the money it is worth it for the learning process that I am receiving.
