being a typical Tamiya, it is coming together fast. The progress so far...
I roughed up the weld seems so it does not look like a "super glued" armor plate. and the up armored nose went in easy. When I was drilling out the hole for the barrel one of the lifting eyes "vanished" and I am debating replacing with some wire or adding some "damage" I'm thinking about that one.
I am going to try to do this...Not the snow cammo, but the netting that is applied
another shot..

that would be something, how would you do it? Maybe a nailboard and wire?

B) cool subject can get this wire scaled down from some aftermarket companies.
In the past I have used fine netting from fruit bags -it's plastic.
anyway nice progress - good effort on the weld beads too.

Do you have netting? I can take an image of ome I have and if you want some can post some to you. Another great place to get netting is the fabric department as they often have many types qnd sizes of openings.

I think the first one looks more like chicken wire but the second one looks more to scale.
What is that stuff Peter?

It's fabric very similar to Bridal Veil material. I use it for chicken wire and for chain-link fence. I got mine at a WalMart a few years ago and/or scrounged some off a crinoline I bought for a couple of dollars.

I hope it's okay to post these 2 images here.
Here are chunks of those 2 samples of Bridal Veil Material/Crinoline material from upthread but painted silver and placed on a 1/35 M4 Sherman Firefly to show the weave size.
