I drew the pattern using a compass and ruler and glued a strip of card stock over the pattern. The pins hold it in place. I again added balsa putty to create a sloped lip. |

The race could let in water so the turret had a raised lip around the hatch. I used solder to make the ring and then feathered the edge with balsa filler. There should only be one ring at the top of the turret. Let that be a lesson, screwdrivers and sharp objects don't always mix. |

| Creosotewind | ACE M-4 Sherman Tank | Parked | 13-Nov-10 09:15 |  | | Views : 672 | | I wasn't looking forward to cutting out the suspension system by hand. I mentioned to my brother that I was looking for either a bandsaw or scroll saw. A couple days later I found this on my porch with a note from him saying he wasn't using this one and hopefully I could put it to good use. What a brother. |
