Looks great so far! The A7V has to be in the running for 'ugliest tank ever'.

 

Wait Phil, it doesn't improve, it just gets uglier :D

The uglier it gets, the better I shall like it.

 

Thanks Phil, you will probably regret that :D

 Wow, you already have very advanced "the box of rolling shoes", that quiet you had it .... :fight:, and it looks very well...:popcorn:

Cheers Julian :D

 

It's a weird machine Francis, the "box of rolling shoes" is a good name, to me it resembles an armored garden slug ;)

3/6 update.

Fitted the control station today. Fit was rather iffy so I went for heavy measure using super glue to subdue the slug and I was just congratulating myself on a job well done when I realized I had fitted the deck a**-backwards :hmmm::mental::yikes:. After major surgery and much harsh language this is the steam-punky effect::

My French WW I and WW II tank colors set arrived, should make the Renault Ft look like Gruber's little tank:

Drat, you have caught on to my secret :jabber::blahblahblah:

Be warned young Kev, only use your stirring balls in lukewarm fluids, certainly not in hot soup or tea or "the farce may not be with you" :wonder: or was it "may the force be with you"?

4/6 update.

After all the excitement concerning stirring balls I added the forward bulkhead and main gun. Also popped in the ammunition storage for the main gun:

Reminds me of the Fiat Multipla: a car designed by a committee that never actually met ...........................

It's plug ugly, reminds me of a slug. Only thing I can think of. Really. Nothing else. :wonder::lalala:
