Well, moving along, I guess it's time to start to post the progress over here in the RRB.

The wheels are not attached yet, just slipped on for the photos....
still have lots of the smaller parts to add.
But got this far.... so far.... Probably won't do anything the rest of the week on it, since I called in sick tonight, and if I feel like I do now tomorrow, I'll probably take Monday and Tuesday as sick days also.
Anyway, here's a few updated shots:

3/4 front

another 3/4 front

rear

Front

Right side

Left side photo turned up missing.... :-) :-) I forgot to take one.

Hey Dave Some departure from the Sherman!
Looks promising, but I know not of what I speak :-)
Will it be in a dio, or am I getting too far ahead of ourselves...?
cheers

Alan, it's the CGM resin kit,
Thanks Cliff, sanded off everything and replaced the details....
Brad, as usual it will be mounted to a base, probably with a figure conversion, then placed in mail to enhance someones collection.

The "Nutter" has given me a nervous breakdown.... :-) :-) I just don't seem to have the delicate touch or push for it yet......
As for the health, the stomach virus has knocked the cr*p out of me..... hopefully it passes soon.... :-) :-) But I'll be calling in sick again tonight....

Looks good so far, just a little thing I caught was that the front-left wheel looks a bit crooked.

Thanks Shain, I aware that the wheels are a little out of alignment, since they are only slipped on, for the photos, not glued yet.
