Thanks for looking

beautiful job. color selection/ application really showcases the details.

Great job!

Thanks for your comments. For anybody with an eye for detail authenticity the floatation screen running beneath the front of the turret should not be there..... didn't realise this till it was almost finnished. This was apparently deleted on the A6 Paladin version of this venerable SPG.

Could you point that part out to me? I’ve got one of these on my To-Do list.

And not to be too much of a Negative Nelly but shouldn’t those three ammo cans beneath the Ma Deuce barrel be strapped down? They won’t stay there very long going over any significant terrain. I would think anyway.

Still a very good job though!

Indeed a nice job. The flotation screen housing is the ox bow shaped portion just forward of the turret.

I've developed a pretty quick method of removing it.

1. Fill cavity with CA. Hit with accelerator.



2. With a barrel shaped steel cutter, remove collar as close to smooth as you can get.



3. Finish with wet/dry sandpaper glued to a small block.

4. It there are any divots from the grinding, fill with CA and sand again.

5. Add bolt detail and replace vent detail, if desired. HO dynamic brake housings make good donors for this.
Don't forget this detail, which is visible if turret is rotated: (you and I will be the only ones I've seen add this)



You don't absolutely have to use the CA, but the plastic will be so thin it's easier to break through, making repairs a little more difficult.

By the way for all of the small details people miss, you can't go wrong with my Paladin walk around. More photos and more comprehensive than any reference available. Anywhere.

Thanks, Rob! I appreciate it!

You doing alright these days?

@Robert, thanks for that.

@Richard, Yes you're right about 0.5 ammunition boxes, will get them strapped down.

Cheers Paul
