Making of the Jagdtiger Mantlet

So, my first post in here. And i decided to show how i did the mantlet on the Jagdtiger i made for Steel Fury a few years ago. I decided to rework it a bit with a new mantlet etc.

And the pictures:

 Maybe this can be confusing but as it is a rework half the mantlet was already finished.

Here i have applied MSmooth on the vertices at the back and also applied FFD 3x3x3

And a front view of it!

 And this is the result after i am done with the FFD and smoothed.

Up to this point i didnt care about the symmetry for left and right half, And i was most happy with the left half so i sliced it and removed the right one.

And here i applied a symmetry modifier on the left part and weld them together.

Attached the cylinder at the front i removed earlier and also attached the hookpoint thingy.

And this is the end result of the mantlet on the Jagdtiger!
