Heavy tank MkVIII, full scratch 1/16 scale
Hello,
This is the new long term 1/16 scale build from scratch I’m starting to tackle with: the 1919 heavy tank MkVIII to complete my range of tanks of the interwar period (after the Chrsitie T3 built in 2010 and the most recent Ford 3 ton tank).
The work has just begun so this is where I’m so far and I'll post more photos when more sub-elements are ready.
Thanks for reading this.

P.S.: though in 1/16 scale, as usual my model will irremediably stay static.

Hi all,
Though my work is at this stage still look rather ugly, this project is coming along pretty nicely and it at last starts to show what the result will look like.
Next steps will be the exterior side frames then the gun barbettes and finally all the surface details such as the rivets.
Thanks for watching.

Hi,
The engine deck is done.
Still some more rivets to add to the front and rear of the hull, the tensioning system to create on both side of the inner panels.
Once all these are done, the center hull will be totally done.
Next step the gun barbettes and oustside panels (already in construction).
Both tracks (148 cm long each) are already almost ready to be put in place in the very last stage of the process.
