    Yep, liking it so far, great progress.
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                Looking good Ron and ready for paint. Don't mind me asking about the ropes...were the crew ex US marines? Either it's good attachment points for foliage camo or quick escape or getting into the fighting compartment.
                I like it too.

                Cheers,

                      Lol ya know Richard, I thought the same, looks like what Dad must have used at Inchon. But with the pic reference I was going by, I had assumed that that feature was indeed some nautical cargo netting. I ended up replicating it with lead wire. But - one reference I came across (same pic) identified that as "wire lattice for foliage" .. so I dunno, but in any case it's a neat detail lol !
                      In the process of trying to create that though, I did buy a comprehensive used lot of model ship-builders rigging strings , wires, threads, what-have-you to add to my supplies

                        Yep Dave, my thoughts exactly. I'm one of those weirdos who love to see the un-painted state of modelworks that are beyond box-stock. Glad you like it !

                            That's a very impressive build Ron. It will paint up beautifully.

                              Lol that disembarkation rigging would have to be for Hitler Youth kids though Richard. That's a rather small AFV
