Hello Michel @michel-verschuere
This is turning out spectacularly ! I just finished catching up with reading your build journal. you made me chuckle a few times with a few comments... Thanks, I needed it.
I spent some time in the desert as a real life "tanker" and the dust gets everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. Your food always gets sand and dust in it, so you get used to literally eating sand. You can always tell because your food gets a little "crunchy". When you are tired and hungry though, you really don't care... and everything else gets covered too, just like the last photo you posted.
The scary thing about that last photo is the commander and the driver don't have any means of communication other than yelling very loud ! Tanks are quite noisy and speakers built into the helmet are a necessity.
My Dad was also a "tanker" in the old Sherman's and he told me that in some of the older tanks the Commander would tell the driver what to do by using his feet. He would kick the driver in various places on his back (and head) and that would tell him to either speed up, slow down, turn right or left, stop and so on. Thank goodness for head sets !
I like how your signs are looking. The road wheels and the painting of the T-72 are also looking very realistic... Thanks for posting another bunch of outstanding updates.
