The base for the hull is a Leopard II hull, up side down - cut and sanded flat

Nice work Steve !

I have a kindle book somewhere, one of those self publish jobs, about the Chinese invasion of America, which has PLA tri-Turret main battle tanks. This took me straight back to to that.
I am inspired..  :smiley: :smiley:
