This was the start of my T18E2 Boarhound project ------ on day 1.

This is my progress so far ------ on day 35 I skipped a few of the daily progress photos (days #2 to #34) to save space. I may have a detail photo to post if there is something you are curious about.

My question to myself is.... What model has TOO MUCH detail ????

My answer to myself is .... This One.!!!!

The more I got done on this thing, the more I discovered there was to do. It's no wonder there were only 30 real ones made, and all were transferred to the UK for them to use. These vehicles were complicated enough to be German. They had two separate engines and drive trains, and two or four wheel drive options for each drive train. The front four wheel steering is functional on my model, and I think the servo I have is strong enough to operate it ok when running.

On the real thing the turret and the front end were sand castings, and I should have painted them with that textured spray can paint before I did all of the details, there are some details that don't want a cast finish I have experimented with a way to correct that now, and I hope it will work. We shall see .....
