These are some of my raw materials. More will be obtained, in the fullness of time and as required.

Since I have this week off from work - plant shut-down - I really have no more excuses.Besides, despite all the evidence to the contrary, I really do want to do this. Also, this is my first try at using Imgur instead of Photobucket, so please be patient - I'm a long way from being comfortable with the new site and how it does things.
Ladies and Laddies, I give you the initial images from the imaginatively-named (hah!) "Build A".
First DeckingAttempt I used the thickest sheet styrene I have, in the hopes of not having to add supports under the decking. Not so - it sags.To make matters worse, that was the last of the thick stuff ... Rats!
Second Deck Attempt As you can see, I don't have quite enough of my next-thickest plastic either, and my super-glue is lacking. John, I don't suppose you got in any more of that black CA? I could really use some.
That pesky plate-ring I'm now at the point of trying to figure out how to not have to remove that ring, but I don't think I have enough putty! I declare, the Army should use whatever that's made of to cover their tanks - it's impervious!
