No, this project had not died and dropped off the earth. As a matter of fact, it’s actually.. done! 🙂

Now that the physical work has been done, it’s to paint my M10c!

At the end of a week of short on-and-off painting sessions, the hull can be assembled, though I still need to pick out head/ tail lights, tools etc. And I’ve slapped the tracks on, but that’s a minor episode by itself.

Yeah. That big gun. 🙂 (Hmm odd.. There’s no bolt heads on the side armour…)
