WWII Russian 57mm Armor Piercing Projectile Repair

[M8owner]

My new projectile was missing the tip of its nose, and the remaining sheet metal was rather thin. Using a mig welder, grinder, lathe and file; it now has a new steel nose. My goal was to make it look not too good and blend it in with the original metal.

That's some fine work right there. Bravo!

M8wner well done! I mean, great work. Let it rust a bit and it'll blend in well with the rest soon
