Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you again, my friends.
Today our family members are reunited and celebrated our twin daughter's birthday.
My daughters are 30.
They are so healthy and doing very well anyway.
I'm happy with that.

The driver's compartment has almost done.
I've just made an overhead console panel with an emergency release handle (T-handle).
When the dropship has been shot and about to crash on the ground, pull the lever release the vehicle, and pray GOD. It may need four parachutes or Jet Assist Landing System.
Looks those consoles have a light leaking issue. LED is too bright?
And the coil wire is a bit too thick.
Thanks for watching!

The little details around the window frames are really cool looking. That is still a very cool looking drivers compartment even with the too bright LED's. I trust in your magic to dim it down to just the right levels that will make this perfect.
The idea of retro rockets to cushion the landing from an early ejection from the drop ship is a very cool idea. At least enough to slow a couple hundred foot vertical drop and avoid a splat landing. Once on the ground they could double as assist jets for crossing large trenches or dropping down short cliffs to get to the intended deployment zone. Adds a whole new level to the story that is building with this!

Maybe one of the fun things about the original design model is imaging a function along with the story. If you share the story, the fun would be doubled. Thank you Hagoth-san!

Hmmm, are you suggesting I share the story in my head? That would be fun!

I love how everything has a clear purpose rather than just randomly added to make it look good. When you look at the details you know why a piece is there
as far as the LEDs, I often use metal foil tape on the interior for light blocking. In this case since it is backlit consoles that approach might not work
You could try a layer of silver paint over black paint and scribe back over it if dimming them down does not work
The other option is maybe a sheet of paper or two to help diffuse it more, or even just place the LED behind a narrower opening to stop down the light

P, p, p, PM me if you got a masterpiece.
Thanks, and in accordance with your tips, I painted silver on them. Looks OK to me.
Thank you so much!
Continue to build.
Fixed the leaking issue.
Using the rain gutter pipe for the turret pit.
The turret is M-4 Sharman's. I've just put it on to see how it look.
Thanks to your kind support, the hard part is almost over and I will enjoy the decorations and detailing work.
Thank you,

Coming along real nice.
Are you close to finished?
Thats always that bittersweet feeling when done. Glad you finished.....but.....at the same time, it can be fun to work on...sometimes.
Other times, I'm just SO ready to get the project finished.
