That's turning out pretty well, Richard. I'll echo the sentiments about the use of can metal for the fenders and exhaust covers! Both look great!

I can sympathize with you Richard. I remember when I first got into airbrushing I couldn't afford a compressor or even Propel cans. I'd take 3 or 4 inner tubes down to the gas station to be blown up and used as my air source. Ah, the "good ol' days"

Richard, you're using a foot pump/regulator as your air supply? That's dedication of the highest standard. Then again, you've found a way to turn a modeling function into a physical exercise.

The beer can fends and exhaust covers really look well done. Just a great use of re-cycling.

Dammit Richard. Now I have to drink a beer.

Going to use some PE sets I'm saving for a nicer kit to template beer can schurtzen for my Tamiya Panther.

Looks great Richard. I don't personally care for the 'overly abused' look but I guess that's just my problem.
