Thanks Steve, that's awesome to hear!
Enjoy the build, it's a really great kit

I actually bought one more kit as a gift for a friend that I want to lure back into the hobby again

Thank you very much, Pete

You're welcome, I think that IKEA photoframe is really good for building a decent looking base. I have ~10 of them in different shapes in my stash.

Again, a superb result!

But those rubber tracks!

I hope you add some better "footwear" to this turtle when this GB is over...

Thanks papatika

I will certainly build another one with full aftermarket set later on - probably a "Fury" model.

This model is a gift to my spouse. She wanted to have one of my models on her desk at work - her boss seems OK with that
