Mike, is that a mould line across the bottom edge of the bumper or is it meant to be there?

If I remember correctly the bumper was welded and that is supposed to represent that, it was not to proud of the metal....

Great work on the gun. A real thing of beauty. Glad to hear you are nearly there now. It's been a terrific little build

Hello sir not a bad job if I may say so .
I like the idea of dropping red or solder into water to make the small balls often wondered how to make.

Your detection methods far outweigh a bloodhound - correct...

I was there in the early1970's, and was actually riding about on one of these. Some of us had just come back from Florida showing the American allies how to hit a tank correctly... But we were not very welcomed back by the Russians on the border, something to do with Mickey, Minnie and Goofy riding about and waving in a victorious manner - seem they put in a formal complaint - we were made to surrender the face masks....
And a yes to the camo net, that will be the next step after the following update.
Cheers,
Mike.
