Challenger with enhanced armour.

Update,
The turret is now finished apart from the hatches which will be detailed later today. The masking will be done in the morning and then the surface primer added.
Just some pics of the final items...

The Holograph paper used in the build. This is just an odd offcut.

The dust cover in place and finished.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]n[/ATTACH]
The smoke dischargers which went from convex to concave.... or in rather than out....
[ATTACH=CONFIG]n[/ATTACH]
Wind sensor with 'electric conduits'.

TOGS door and lens, also the small wiper blade which will be bent into place once painting has finished and masking removed.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]n[/ATTACH]
And finally a couple of the muzzle. There are two bolts not shown here, but are now added each side since the photoshop shown I had forgotten them.

And that is it for time being.
Cheers,
Mike.

Hi Steven,
Its becoming a bit of a problem, every time you touch it some of the sand (white) works loose and ends up on the bench, like modelling on marbles.
