thanks Pynedor!
the big curve shoulder covers troubled me for a long time but I didn't cut them off still...

I thought you might have, but I like what you've done with making the scales visible on the front.

I've shrunk the shoulder covers
....I figured if I trim them off, then they will not be much different from all the other types of Dou I already have on my earlier Samurai soldiers
....still, I can easily trim them off if the end result look better without these rounded 'roof canopies' 8}

Pynedor/Tahra, if you have any of these 'tanks', compare them with my trimmed one and you'll discover something funny and will HAVE to ask another question :D

Nice. But I STILL think the shoulders must go..

Will need to add this to my neverending list of things to try  :-[
