Started work on the interior.

Removed the M7 gun mount and the floor finger holes to the excess hatches.

Cracking detail work Pete. I'd love to be working at that kind of level one day.

Do you have a tool for making the rivets & bolts? I often wonder how you guys do it.

Pete apologies for intruding on your thread.

Andy - believe most use a punch and die set to punch out small circles of plasticard

Ah, thanks.

I wondered if you chaps were cutting slices off styrene rod or something like that. Punching out sounds more feasible.

That’s the method that used to be used before the widespread availability of modellers’ punch-and-die sets (and probably still is by people who don’t have one).

Pete,
Great additions.

Sorry I'm late, took the wrong exit.
Nice introduction on the beast, those photos reminded me off the Annual Rabble Outing to Margate, when Steve lost his trousers ( least said about that the better )
Pete, beautiful work, glad it's passing muster !
I'll sit at the back, brought my own biscuits.
