After completing the first level of the TT, (see day 302) he has levelled up (sounds like a video game ๐ ) and is adding more bits and pieces to the interior.
All the shells you can see (the dark things that look a bit like bullets) had to be put together, painted, weathered ( used/worn/scratched/chipped) and put in their holders then attached to the side of the tank. They are about 2cm high in fact. The 2 stacks of boxes, also built and painted to look weathered, held the charges for the shells to make them explosive, and the little rod thingy in between them was for ramming the shells into the tanks gun ready for firing. To the right of the shells he’s put an M42 and a satchel of rounds for it. So things are moving along. Slowly ๐
Phil is doing great. The attention to detail is outstanding, and I am sure it will satisfy him, so be worth the time and trouble.
Best wishes, Pete.

As Iโve said, the painstaking detail is amazing. My head hurts just looking at it. On second thought, that might just be a byproduct of watching the hearings.๐๐ปโโ๏ธ

I don’t even want to think about the size of the tools he’s using. It looks amazing.

The tools are not so small, a blade and tweezers mostly, and a few dental tools. Thanks April, I think it will be great when it’s finished.

mind bending attention to detail, straps to hold the shells and one of them undone, just mad! ๐
