I am having a lot of fun with this Churchill project and I was going to fenders next but I felt like I needed to take a break from it for a couple of days. The fuel trailer looked like a fun thing to start, so that was what I have being busy with. This type of trailer was also used on a Sherman!

Seeing the video of your Crab and your build thread photos will be used as a reference for me on my Sherman flail project. I do not have the correct Sherman type to build a historically accurate Sherman flail, but the Mato cast hull Sherman I have will work just to see if I can make a flail that even works at all. But first I have to finish the Churchill.
I'm halfway done with the fenders at this point.

I don't like doing anything that was riveted together --- or has a highly detailed interior, and now I am going to add fenders to that list. I"m short on patience for that stuff. Golly, it looks like I ain't gonna be building much in the future !Building the hatches up front are next and then the engine deck. The rear end doesn't look too bad, but the gizmo that connects the trailer to the trailer may take some fiddling to get it to swivel properly.
I'm done for a few days.

I wasn't able to spend as much time on my Churchill as I wanted, but I did get the front done. Next is the rear deck and rear end with fuel trailer connections. I hate it when the real life bull crap I have to deal with gets in the way of my hobby time. Grrrrrr !!!

That is coming together very well. Will you paint it in desert colors like it's one of Monty's tanks, or do the green for Europe?

OK, Rex, I recommended you and they said as soon as you learn to speak Chinese and are prepared to move to China and become a communist they have a spot for you. I wasn't really very happy with that answer. I think they should open a shop in your home town and you can start turning out tanks we want to see, but they never listen to me.
