Good times.

It feels really good to get these kits that have been waiting finished. The workmanship is top notch. She's gonna be a looker.

Some more progress on the Fort. Trying to get top turret finished and make waist gun windows fit. Continuing to modify .50 cals so gun barrels can be installed as the final step.

Very nice! The turrets are a nightmare to mask and paint.

I’m really liking the shading that you did along the panel lines to simulate the overlapping panel look. :shoutout:
