These links didn't work for me. Did anybody else have trouble ?

Here it is after the top got put on the hull.  That's the only part
that won't be hinged.  I have thoughtfully provided a half-liter water
bottle for scale.

This is the dead ahead view.  Tell me it doesn't look a LITTLE like
I'm building a 1/6000 scale model of Galactica instead of a 1/6 tank.

After the boat battle this weekend, I start adding the suspension.

Why is the center of the turret ring hollow?  Because I wanted to :)
and, the rotating surface will be two rings of very thin Teflon and
this gives me access to the center of the hull.  Also, the gun in the
M60 is pretty close to the turret ring, and this lets me get more
elevation.  Anybody know how to do calls for fire?  Anyone building a
1/6 FO/FAC aircraft?  :)  [okay, I exaggerate slightly]
