Default RE: Crusader 3 Build

Hi everyone,

A little update on the Crusader 3. First of all, sorry it's taken so long to complete this, but looks like I'm track for paint by the middle of May.

Adding the rivets was a much larger job than I had anticipated. So far, I've added over 200 rivets (made of styrene hex rodm cut into little slices, and attached with CA). It looks awesome, but it is enormously time consuming. The distinctive stowage boxes were no easy task either.

Riveting should be all done by the weekend, and then I'll post some final pictures of the raw tank before it gets primed and painted.

Thanks all,
Shep
