Matt's Tank Project Update: Color

Matt brought his turret over to the workshop so we could fit it with a nice, big lazy susan bearing for smooth traverse movement. We also put the first coat of paint on it now that he's decided on a color scheme:


If for some reason you decide that you need to paint anything Panzer Grey, Home Depot calls the color "Evening Mist." So there you have it.

More Pictures of Matt's Tank

I really don't have much to say about these photos. Mostly, this is just what Matt's tank looks like now. He made quite a bit of progress while I was away:

The main focus of that progress was the construction of the turret:

Here's a shot of the back side:

And a pic of Matt inside:

And me:


He still has to find an engine, then build his suspension and one track before he'll be caught up to where I am on my tank project. That gives me a little bit of time before I'll have to pull mine out and start work on the transmission.

The plan is to have them both up and running about the same time so we can do battle.

Stay tuned...
