    Nice work on the damage Greg. It is indeed good fun to do. How is the damage being caused in your imagination because if its being caused by something hitting the tank from above then would the metal shards be pointing downwards instead of up??? Or was it an explosion from underneath? Just a thought

      Excellent start Greg.
      A long way to go before completion, but you will have fun all the way creating the damage. - I did!

        A great start to what IMHO is the toughest military modeling to achieve. PaulE

          Well Steve The hit came from the left side of tank by an uranium depleted penetrator which caused a catastrophic explosion by hitting a shell and then went right through the hull and exited by the right side of the tank....this is what i see

                Terrific update Greg. Glad you put me in the picture with the reasoning around the damage. A great idea and well thought out. Best of luck with the Christmas rush at the shop. Have a wonderful festive period after hours.

                    Greg,
                    Sounds like you had a good Christmas. The build is looking good. And a belated Happy new year to you and the Mrs.
