Default Finally arrived in the Shed/Workshop

Many thanks to Dave at Blitzkrieg Armour for enabling me to pop my 1/6th tank build cherry, on one of his fine models (well actually 2, but thats another story), and today temperatures raised in the positive a whole 4 degrees centigrade (I appriciate for some of you these may well be warm temperatures, but for my poor circulation its just manageable) so with the help of a few friends model one made it into the shed.

I've managed to get a little more time in the shed and installed the basic electrics, and it has ran under it's own power

I've also had the return roller modified by Skippy (he has a lathe) to helps it run, I've applied some more tension to the tracks as they come, very slack.

I've also put the first coat of red oxide on the mantle and etch primed the barrel, then the lads came out
