I’m thinking now after looking at it more that these 3D marks add to the look of this off beat tank.

Absolutely.
It looks as if the outer shell has been welded from curved strips.
I also agree about the turret texture, 3D nerds will likely identify its origin but for the rest of us it raises speculation about its actual construction that only adds to the wow factor. So glad you didn’t sand it

Ah Tim, if only you knew! It wasn’t down to any modelling intuition, but sheer idleness - I just couldn’t be bothered to sand it all down. Mind you, if didn’t become apparent until I glossed it all - prior to that the primer and matt coat didn’t show much of the striation in any case; funny how the gloss did. Perhaps it’ll disappear under a matt coat once I’ve finished faffing around?
I’m not too fussed if it doesn’t - as you identify it’ll add to the somewhat unique appearance of the beast. I hope the silvered decals do too. Sigh

And now combined with the vehicle itself; a few blemishes but matted down. Time for an application of Tamiya Buff methinks!

Looking very nice Brian, be nice to see it in a couple of weeks for real!
Oh just seen this, hope it doesn’t spoil your day?

God no; the more iterations the better I feel. A great subject for What-If modellers that’s for sure.
