Guys
Iadded on welds and based the armour thickness on a Jagdtigers
i put on ribs on the mud guars based on a churchill.
The mantlet is made in milliput and is supposed to look like a bolted on casting
Theres still loads to do
all comments welcome
regards andrew

Hey Andrew,
Your build has a very SU-152/ISU-152 look to it.
What caliber gun are you proposing?
Cheers

This has more than a passing resemblance to the tortoise, great work as ever.
