    And finally time to add the running gear, now it's looking like a tank.

    And my current status, trying to get some nice stowage on there, playing around with placement, currently it's too scattered, and I also want to try scratch build some bedrolls and tarps. Figuring this out as I go haha.

    Thanks so much @johnb, thats such an awesome compliment, I have a lot of advice coming from great armour modelers so I can't take all the credit.

    Stowage positioning in place, decided there was too much of an empty space at the back so made a tarp with tissues, string and watered down wood glue to harden it.

    Almost there now, final painting and weathering and then it's done.
