Thanks Rex & Mart. I'll browse the nuts & bolts and see if there's something that really sticks out for use in my builds!

Mart I basically resurfaced the original roof of the tank. While cutting up the hull it left plenty of scars and a new and slightly taller profile wasn't a big problem. Now I have some minor turret rotation issues to work on because the turret ring gear is slightly higher than the rotation gearbox although they still mesh.



Exhaust rust & detail. I experimented for the first time with paint and baking powder mixed... very good results.
