Those are some tremendous tanks! They all deserve a build thread. Thanks for posting them.

Absolutely agreed. They also deserve better pictures.

Nice work.

May I ask, how did you do the camo netting?
I tried cheesecloth; it ended up looking more like a blanket.

Thx.

And a hybrid Firefly to boot! As Ecam asked, any chance of a build thread?
That Centurion looks to be in for a rough ride if it continues straight ahead!

Sorry there won't be a build thread on the firefly as I we got it like that but it's not a cut and shunt between a mato and heng long as there isn't any cut marks inside so most likely it's a rare mato hull as it's got all the same screw holes as the mato one

The camo netting is an old t-shirt and the netting that fruit come in

In addition to all those remarkable build accomplishments, that camouflage net made of "an old t-shirt and the netting that fruit come in" is just the sort of ingenious use of resources that I so admire.
