**contrafibbularities**: Thank you. Your recent tutorial helped such a lot in joining the pipes fairly quickly. I had been researching this model since last year and had been thinking how to join all the pipework - then along came the 'pipe' joining plugin and your tutorial!

Here some detail starts to get added to the front walkway. Half of it is hidden from the render to depict the basic construction of the real model. Cinema hemispheres and cylinders were used for the shelf parts. There are still some valves and other fittings to be added but I'm still sorting out a supplier of the rael components before I make the 3d ones. This is one of the reasons for colour coding assemblies - I can see at a glance what sections have to be worked on without making endless notes!

Tomorrow I hope to start reproducing some detail from a 1970's Tamiya M551 Sheridon tank that is fitted to the walkways.
