I feel you, Mark. Thank you for having a look!

Oh yeah, Friuls are a thing of their own. But they feel pretty precious when finished, don't they?

Yes, they do, as well as some heft to the model But the M74 didn't really need that because the whole top is resin.

Wow! Now you're showing off, my friend.
Actually I tested the new winch for the German wrecker "Büffel" in our environmental lab this week. Seeing your work I think I have to build one of those fancy vehicles.

A short roundup on what happened on my Leopard in the past five months.
Build up the turret for the most part. Then painted the periscope glasses and glued them in both hull and turret.

There are about 50 to 70 parts left to put on, then it's finally time for primer. Procrastinating on the tiny s**t, as always. :bored:

Looking good Torben! Are you planning to do this as a Ukranian Leo?

No, just a standard Bundeswehr vehicle. Since it's an ongoing conflict just a few hundred miles away from here, I'd have a bad feeling doing it. Especially when seeing all those refugees in my town every day. Maybe in a few years, when the present became history.

That’s an understandable viewpoint.
