@panzerman1 – William,

That’s a cool project you have going. This is already interesting especially with the figures.

Keep it coming, looking forward to seeing more.

William, really REALLY great, it looks so different! I like the way the cut away is kind of echoed by the cut away building and even cut away bricks - it adds something to the overall composition.

@panzerman1 – William,

I don’t imagine that this kit came supplied with the rear decks mesh screens or molded on Zimmerit paste? Splendid and indeed an impressive build!

Thanks for posting and sharing your work here, hoping to see more . . .

OMG ! Another truly outstanding Braille build. the scatch building is just tremendous. You guys must have better then 20/20 vision even with a Optivisor.

@Anthony, Mike, Bill, Toby, Jeff, Alexander, and Matthew...
Wow! Thanks everyone, I'm sure glad you all like it.
@Eddy, Thanks....and Nope, I had to add the fine mesh screens and scribe the Zimmerit into the plastic.
@Joel, Thanks. No optivizor yet, my 1/35 scale work helps...I just miniaturize the details down for Braille work.
