More parts added to the Tortoise!

 More parts added to this beast of a machine!

The rear end is getting towards being finished with the final towing arrangement fitted in the middle. There were 13 parts to this and yes it does move and rotate as MENG intended it to which caused me some headaches to achieve though! The exhaust which is to the left on the cutting mat, need a bit more work as I literally sanded parts of it so thin to get rid of a joint that it almost collapsed! However, once done, that should really add to the rear end.

A few other parts to the sides and front have also been fitted but those 6 large holes are for the spare track links which were carried on the side of the body. To make painting easier I will be adding those after the painting is done.

Right! back to the slow slog of adding all those small parts!
