Gaargh.. that would have worked as well.

This is just about it  as far as the build goes.
Thanks to the extension, should manage a finish as well.. wheewww !
It was a hard choice.. finish this or spend the New Years Weekend on a Houseboat in glorious summer weather here.

And as soon as I learn to use the new SLR camera again, the photos will improve as well.

It. Is. Aliiiiiiive !

Look.. I have found my mojo and back at the bench.. it is a "a Short-Chamber Boxer-Henry .45 caliber miracle"

working up the Digital Camo.. why you ask.. lunacy, early onset stupidity?.. but mainly because it really does look cool.

Wow - I'd almost leave it with the tape on, if you could secure the pieces permanently. It looks like some sort of armor.

Could almost be a good use for the 1000's of M113 that are still out there
