I’ve never gone back-and-forth on a build this much. I’d add three pieces
and then remove five others. All in all, it took me about two and a half
hours. I’m pretty happy with the result but may still take another whack at
it in the future.
My model is a little too tall--but the minifigs kind of force that. Those
panels on the side are also too far out. I knew from the start that while
the real-world prototype had both a loader and a gunner in the turret, that I
wouldn’t be able to. I built it with two figures in the body, however--and
then about halfway through realized that the prototype probably only had the
driver, and he would have been centered. If I build it thusly, I can get the
sides of the compartment back into line.
PLMKWYT!
