Hello

Thanks for comments

@F3066 : To replace the coil springs, i use electrique wire with its sheath, I wrapped it around a brush handle, and it made a perfect spring.

Smal update : turret is completed

Hi Romain, really great work bro. Very well builded and detailed.
I like the touch of extra works like the springs and all wires, conduits etc.

A question, I see many grey spots on the joints (especially on chassis), Is putty to fill gaps or some primer for confer the joints?

Keep the great work and let us updated.

Audren Dbó, au revoir!

Such intricate detail, very good to sit and study.

Kind of hate to put paint on it! Nice work!

Hello !

It's finally over !

After a year and a half of work and plenty of aftermarket used ...

@Audren : The grey spots are Tamya putty, to fill gaps (around the suspension, it's Mr Surfacer)

Seriously impressed, here. I will be building one of these, for an upcoming campaign. I'm sure it won't turn out as nicely as your build, but it is very inspiring.

Not much more can be said than the previous accolades already have. But I still needed to comment. Absolutely one of best builds I have ever seen. Bravo!
