Thanks!
Alminium cans are so useful at scratchbuild.
But we have to give care to injuring our fingers.
I have been injured once…^^;
I got more motivation for constructing thanks to your comments.
Thank you everyone!
I added part around gun.
This is made from runner, epoxy puttey, and can.
And, I noticed that I made gun shield with the wrong design.
So I remade it.

I am adding details on the gun shield.
The rivet pattern differ from original FCM’s.
But I couldn’t find pictures from different angles, so I made some with based original pattern.
And I started making side details.

Hello ryotaro,
You are continually impressing me with your skills. I, again, like the gun shield and the guns. Very convincing. I even had to go back and look to notice the rivets on the gun shield above the MG. I do like this gun shield better than the last one, and I really liked that one. I think the “textured” look to the metal is very well done. Keep up the great work and hope to see more!
Best Wishes from Cincinnati Ohio,

Thank you for your compliment, Walter.
I made gun from the tip of mechanical pencil.
Metal parts like these are very useful to reproduce metal texture like thinnes and precision.
I’ll keep up my works!
Many thanks,
Ryotaro
I getting little tired of turret constructing, so I built track and started building photoetch.
This set is not expencive, but it incrudes enough parts to satisfy me.
I built shovel holder at first.
It has complex shape and so small that I had hard time building…

@ ryotaro3-22,
Looks like your having some good fun on the bench. I need a new set of glasses to spend anytime looking at something this small when I model so looking at what you’ve done with the photo-etch is awesome. Keep up with the building it’s coming along nicely.

Thank you Eddy.
I am difficult to look these small parts, too…
So I use camera to look it exactly.
