Hoo hoo! That would take me several years even if I had access to a laser mill and a few assistants. And then I'd probably spill freshly mixed resin all over it...
Really awesome work. How did you make the checkered plate on top of the fender?

You devil, that is coming out so sweet. I sure hope you can show up to Springfield with that baby finished. And where can I get one of those big pennies?

Thanks guys. Skunk, the check plate was originally done by Ralph Ratcliffe as they are resin parts from the Don Mills FCSW kit. I'm using the cab, fenders, driveline and rear wheels from that kit. Chester, the big penny is available at most novelty and magic supply shops.  |

VERY IMPRESSIVE Joe!
Although I think you don't have the correct number of links in the chain-drives. ;D
I can't wait to see the buid-up of the tank.

[administrator message]Hi Perez, your computer isn't acting up, don't worry. The word you were trying to use (starting with a D and ending with MN) is on the censored words list and is automatically replaced. Eric [end administrator message]Back on topic... Joe, amazing attention to detail again !  Can't wait for pictures of the completed model. Eric

And where can I get one of those big pennies? That's an old John Allen trick. That has to be one of the best pieces of modeling that I have ever seen in 1/87. |

The model is awsome, you'll have to post a photo when you finish it. What scale is it, the cotton swab in the background looks big compared to the model.
