Chop Shop: Ogre 1 Conversion Ongoing

 

Above is where I am after cutting back the sculpting putty I applied last time. I realized I made a mistake judging the rake of the front glacis, which you can see below.

It left the model looking a bit of a mess.

I also had to realign the left hand rear track casting, because the body wasn't level. This was probably down to me when I assembled the  model not being careful enough when gluing the castings together.

This setback was a bit disheartening, and made me remember why I put the project aside ten years ago.

And below is the re-profiled front. As I now compare this with my pictures, I realize that I've missed the narrowing of the front glacis at the peak where it meets the base of the tower.

After the epoxy putty has hardened overnight I will adjust this tomorrow.
