Great pics O-man :)

Could we have a few closeups of the rear and the turret please :)

BTW: You're our significant Otter.

The white primer does not get along with the waxy substrate of the 3D print, which in turn does not get along with the camera. I'll have something prettier in a week - resin casts.

Thanks mate :) Looks pretty good even though you had chemistry working against you :D

The rear looks pretty good (notch notch say no more) and the turret detail seems to have worked out as well. I'm wondering a bit of the turret hatch and periscopes are too tall but I'll wait untill I see the resin casts before passing final judgement :)

Oh nice! Now that is what I like to see when I get into the office in the morning. Good work chappies!

What a splendid rear, perfectly proportioned and finely detailed. Just as I like 'em. Can't really make out the periscopes, so will take a gander at the resins.

Looking forward to a few companies of these chaps! Finally some medium tanks, it's been a long journey...

It's just about perfect save for the one little thingy I've mentioned already. Now is probably too late. But. Please lift the rear idler further off the ground. It does not have to be as high as the drive sprocket; about halfway should be fine...

It may be a bit tricky at this stage as both side armor vent and treads would need to be adjusted. It is a good point from a realism point of view for sure. :) We did raise them a bit compared to the very first sketches. The question is how noticable the difference would be on the table? I've made a little comparison sketch: Top is the current look, botton is with the rear wheel raised

Well, to be honest I wasn't thinking about realism. It's just that IMO it looks much better that way.  :)

Ahh, the bottom one IS perfect!  :wow: Since the tank is quite large (for a 6mm piece anyway) I'd say it's pretty noticeable. Not the least because the rear track guard is much shorter.

I would prefer to not have to completely rework the entire tread system; it's very time intensive to do the links and such. That call will be Tom's, of course.

While prepping the mold yesterday I concluded that spray painting was a bad decision on my part. In the future prototypes should just be photographed and then popped into the clay for molding.

Didn't expect you to; as I said it's probably too late at this stage. Still,it's something I just had to bring up. I take treadheading seriously... :)
