Outstanding job on the fuel lines. I made them a few times but now I use aftermarket ones, yours are perfect.

Thanks André! Lots of bending and testing as you know. I'm getting myself ready for the slat armor construction, and will definitely go with your tip of making a jig. I've been following YOUR T-62 build, and your anti-radiation cladding on the turret is awesome!

André Silva
Thank you hiveloc. I'm now (with a pinch of salt) placing the turret slat armor supports. When it's done (hopefuly correctly), i'll share their detailed placement locations by lenght and height, so anyone trying the same build won't have the same trial, error and elbow grease experience. Also following your build.

The turret slat mounting is going to the top of my NOT FUN list! I had a sheet of paper full of measurements and helpful tips from @André Silva, but I still ended up spending too much time testing and fitting everything in place. An unfortunate tip-over during construction had me re-attaching some of the parts- sigh.

That slat armor looks cool, but also like a heck of a lot of work.

First time seeing the Voyager Slat Armour set being built, truly daring build and also inspiring.

hiveloc
Thank you Cortex! The slats were a real pain- Voyager's instructions are lacking and just plain wrong in spots, and I have a long list of gripes on the construction. I'm hoping that the side panels will mount up without too much trouble since I had to get well into the paint stage before I can do that. Keep an eye on André Silva's build, I think his slat armor is going to end up way better than mine!

André Silva
Thank you for the kind works about my slat armour @hiveloc but it wont be better, you nailed yours, I fumbled mine,. @Cortex in that respect should follow your build which is looking better and better, it's going to be a doozie!

André Silva
Fantastic work, the slat armor and supports are perfect, the camo is spot-on.

Thanks for your always-kind words @André Silva! I should be finishing up here soon, this one has been a ton of work for me.
