It's a while ago I've seen an Abrams being built so I'm looking forward to this one.

Thanks,Gents. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) This will be an OOB build. Nothing fancy. The only variable will be the amount of weathering She gets. I'm leaning towards very lightly.
Box dumped and a small start.

Thanks all. So a bit more this morning. Lower Hull assembled.
Added kit supplied weight for that "realistic feel"
And a couple of Sprockets. As you can see,the detail is very good.
TTFN.

Thank you,Gents. Yup, the table cloth is still hanging in there. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) So are the chairs. Surging ahead,I've got the wheels cut,trimmed and sanded.
Next up is wheels on a stick. Hope you're hungry.
Peace out.

Thanks,Lads. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Steve,same here. I'm lucky though the deck is covered. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) So an early evening or late night snack depending where you are,globally.
I'll have to wait on paint for a bit due to weather . Hot and heavy here.
See ya.
