The stuff you do without a 3 D printer and laser cutter are simply amazing. You have my deepest respect, and are an example of what a master modeler does. Congrats on the news with respect to the baby on the way.
My Daughter is two weeks away from making me a Grandpa. I suggested a baby layout with a Sherman instead of a lace cloth. Big no on that idea.
Anyway, a great looking tank you have started there and I am simply amazed by what you can accomplish.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. If I could do CAD drawings and had a 3D printer or laser cutter, I could build my projects easier, faster and more accurately than I do using my hammer and hacksaw method. But I'm just a stubborn old coot who is too old to teach new tricks. I am attempting to build that drivers cupola now and I think what I drew up on paper is going to work out in styrene. I hope it works out. So far- so good (but I have said that before). If you know already, will your grandkid be a boy or girl? If it's a boy he can be named after a number of tanks --- Sherman, Stuart, Abram, etc. If it's a girl, ya gotta go with Matilda ........!!!!
