Hi guys ! Thanks Mr T. , Bob . Ian, don't stretch it too far . :coolio For one thing it's not deep enough for a copy.
Mostly, it would be hard to replicate it from this point. Would have to plan from early on.
At this point, I just hope it looks like something once it's all together .
Just sprayed some hairspray on the bird.
Hoping I'm not destroying it.....could turn out to be more garbage :facepalm

You know, it's a fine line between brave and crazy. Not sure what side of the line I fell on. :idonno
Oh well, you only live once
Might as well go for broke .

Thank you Luiz .Creating those turrets was definitely exciting :fencing
Meanwhile I started coating the clog with hairspray last night and sprayed paint on it off and on all day.
Since I'm not a tank builder and I have no experience in that field, several idea were going round and round my head at the same time.
Some of them worked quite fine while others did work as well. Guess they'll have to be fixed.
The best part is that it didn't take the flight to the trash can yet.
Just laid a cat of gloss . It will need another tomorrow before the next assault.
And by the way, Y would now approach this paint job differently :fencing

Thank you Luiz, James and Chuck for the encouraging words . Not breaking any speed records but making progress none the less . :snoopy
After a day of hunting the clear pieces for the turrets that I had moved to a safe place.
And hunting high and low, they were discovered the next morning and glued onto the lower parts.
I had purchased a mask for this beast but alas it does not come close to the AM. bubbles....So, on the the Tamiya tape and some home brewed masking liquid.
Very trying process on the tape. Also my first try on the liquid and I am very happy with how it worked
Thanks for looking . Cheers, Christian B)

Not my invention, as I recently found it on another Webb site ( :tomato ).
Elmers's washable clear school glue . Add a small amount of food color. Peeled off better than any commercial products I have tried and way cheaper

Well it is very simple. I've been wondering for years why someone could not come up with such a product.
Now, some mad scientist in a secret laboratory has come up with a solution . :yipee
Not sure if it will stay good for long periods yet but I'll test it soon.
