Drain covers - on the left a trial using brass rod soldered together, not good enough and then tried just drilling and cutting out the shape from a bit of thick foil.

A manhole cover made from 2 sections of acrylic. The top section has had holes drilled into it and this section will be fastened to the solid bottom section..
The polyfiller on the road has had a hole cut into it, to put the manhole cover into.  Next job is to get some colour on the road, then add the manhole cover and the 2 drain covers.

And there is enough left to build a sideboard - one of my mother's sayings when my dad had built something out of wood, from a design in his head.

Is this the religious side to you Msea,

Will not mention religion - don't wish to be hit with a thunderbolt again !!!
First coat of colour on the road and pavement and a coat of pledge on top of this, ready for a couple of coats of wash.
Second photo shows the open machine gun box with coat of green on the outside ( lighter shade than the tank, to show that its an addition to the tank) and a coat of pale grey on the inside.

Two panels for the driver to give information and control switches.

Will soon be switched on - the control wires and pipes have now been fitted to the side of the cabin.  The 2 driving handles have also been fitted, when solid and the panels have been painted, will fit them on top of the pipes.

Just you wait Chris --- hohohoho
One of the machine guns started to go inside the open box, will remove the wheels and place on a swivel gun stand.

Barrel and shield added to the machine gun, when solid will add the last little parts.
