Rivets are enough there - especially the side protections are full of them The tank got its paint today (silver/gold with brown washings).

That's a brilliant idea with an old Revell T-80. It does look pretty "Jules Verne-ish" in a sense. However, if this is Steampunk; I think it needs more tubing in places too.
Also, the company ACE makes a Traction Avant in 1/72 scale. I know; I built one. It's a rough build, but fun to do.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Tubing incoming... 
Color and decals are on. Now the fiddly bits will follow.

I loved that movie... 
Have to practice some tank skills for the bigger one in 1/35 scale - Im just awaiting a "Art of Modelling" issue from a friend with a SBS of that tank in it (surprise, surprise...).

Nice! Great work as usual.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
