At last! This has been a blood, sweat and tears thing for you and the tracks look fantastic. Congratulations on finishing a major step toward the completion of your Centurion!

Definitevly not off-track!!

Nice track-job!!

Nice, and with doing the Autocar WW1 armoured car you have a good warm up to do one of the big Holt WW1 military crawlers. Not so subtle hint for one of my favorite subjects.

Thanks guys.

Two years working on this thing, and everytime I have to go near the model,
everytime I have to move it, pick it up, turn it over...
I think about dropping it, bumping it, tripping and landing on top of it.
With how clumsy I am sometimes, I constantly dread some sort of mishap
and I imagine how heartbreaking it would be to suffer some catastrophic accident.
There is no way I will rebuild it. lol

But luckily I have yet to do any major damage or suffer any notable accidents.

Until today.
lol

I picked up the Turret, to check something underneath
...forgot that the Commander's Hatch is not fixed
...and out it fell.
Hatch ring, open hatch, Machine Gun
...hit the floor with a resounding ....well, nothing really.
Its made of paper.

But I heard it crunch!







Broke the Machine Gun bracket...I had it fixed in about 30 seconds.
So no worries.

now, wheres that Video camera?

I believe the operative word is 'whew'

Beautiful build. I only wish I'd known about this place when you'd started.
