Final Stretch

Now that the body is symmetrical, see the post here, it was obvious where work was needed. The old joke about asking for directions to somewhere, and the reply being if I was going there, I wouldn't start from here, applies to this project.

Side-by-side comparison showing the missile casings to the rear that Keith graciously sent.

 

I still need to add the sloping casements for the the main guns, then add the secondary batteries, and the anti-personnel guns. Finally, to finish, I need to add the twin circular tanks/gubbins, and the two exhaust vents on the rear deck too.

Nose-to-nose shot of my original Grenadier Ogre and my Ral-Partha converted to represent the Martian Metals original Mark 5.

I estimate I've spent 60 hours the hours working on this conversion. Some of that time is down to not getting it right on the first attempt, and having to correct my mistakes.
