Very kind words from both of you - it keeps me inspired to keep the greeblies flowing... Below you can see that I've been working on the detail at the rear of the top hatch. I was actually looking forward to modeling the M10 wheel bogey - I have a fondness for the Sherman family of tanks 
I've also worked in the panel lines around the gun area on the chin. I hope to get the pew-pews modeled up here soon.
Hey, anyone have any idea what the kit part labeled "A" is? I can't seem to find it called out in any of the maps or associated threads, but I could have missed it.
Also, NS4 - I checked out your Narcissus page, and holy cow, for sure you understand the labor of love of modeling the details! I'm just a padawan compared to what you've done on that thing. Any time I start to feel overwhelmed and apathetic, I'll just hop on over to your page to remind myself that it's accomplishable.
And bg_451 - the resin printers keep coming down in price. The Anycubic Photon that I have will reproduce extremely fine details (I print D&D minis as another hobby), and it can be had for under $300 US. They also just launched an even more economy version, the Anycubic Photon Zero for right around $150 US! For resin, I can highly recommend Siraya Tech's Fast Resin - it's relatively inexpensive, semi-flexible, sands very well, and takes paint great. Oh, and it doesn't stink like the other resins can - very important for not raising the ire of the significant other in the household...
