CT Ertz's Fiat 2000

Corey gave me a shot at building this one probably over half a year ago, I think. Unfortunately, I got caught in a big home/business move to another state (into a great house, but with much work to do), and before we even finished the move I had to start on a grueling film project that left me with a damaged left thumb and a damaged right elbow. That, added to the fact that virtually all of my larger scale paper models did not survive the move, has kept me away from paper models for the better part of a year.
So please keep in mind that this build suffers from my not being able to hold paper with my left hand.
I would have posted progress shots, but this build went bad from the start; not the fault of the designer, but the builder. The kit appears to fit well and is a good representation of a rather unique monstrosity, I only wish I could have done a better job of it. With apologies to Corey, here it is;

Glad to hear that you all settled in and back among us.
I think you did an outstanding job on this model. Look forward to seeing more.

I love that model. It has a certain simplistic charm. A great little tank. As for the build quality, it looks better than anything I make with two working hands!

With that domed turret and overall size it has a video game or sci-fi look to it! And I agree about the quality of the build. Better then I do with two working hands!
Great build!!

I hope you soon have your thumb and elbow full recovered.Sorry to hear you lost some paper models but it's a good excuse to build more

The build looks great and very clean to me. I love the rounded turret the design and your build.

Corey is going it to ecardmodels?

Well, I wish they looked better, but of course you are welcome to use any or all of the photos, Charlie.

An extremely nice design and build. Great job on both fronts Corey and Chris (he don't need no steenking thumb).
