First a quick note...I really appreciate the posts from the other T-34/SU-85/SU-100/SU-122 builders, It's making this a really nice thread
Anyway, enough gushy, it's time to blow stuff up. Spent some time epoxying on the different components of the conversion kit. I have mocked up a gun 'pod' for now. It's going to take some time to develop the gun so for now I'll just put in this mock-up. At least I'll hook up the LED to the recoil as per the 'Doug's Tiger Parts' method.
I also made all new metal handles for the whole tank out of 3/32 steel wire. I love their rigidity and I now do this to all my tanks. I secure them from behind with thick fillets of epoxy.
I am starting to fill the gaps with Tam putty. It's going pretty well and I am sonn ready for a first coat of plastic primer.

This just in.... Corp Diez defects to red forces. Since nobody offers a good Soviet tanker fig I used a 21 Cent figure. I'll paint off the insignia. He has the best resemblance to a Soviet tanker. Plus he loves to fight and the AS gun in the Bulldog quit working
