Brilliant Manuel!! Your work is state of the art.

[MarkofZollo]

Really nice work as usual! I wish I had the skill and patience you do, or at least enough money to buy your models off you
It would be really cool if that front mg turret moved too!!
Cheers,

The turret moves too. When i have done the complete electrical stuff, i will make an video, there you will see it

Thanks to all, i´m happy that you like my modells. I really like this old british tanks and i´m sure i will buildt another one next time. The Tanks are much different to the german ones, it´s very sad, that now factory like Tamiya or HL build some.

The 2mm polystyrol seems very strong. How are you cutting out the parts? I have a cutting board for Plasticard but 2mm is very thick for my board. Are you using a router?
Thanks Manual, Christian(chris3) has a CNC Router and post here also,his parts are always cut perfect and your are perfect as well, really fine work. I have been saving for the CNC and Tooling but am interested in other methods as well so please share you cutting method if you will?

cheers Sax

@Saxondog

Well, i cut all plates up to 3mm with an regulary Cutter and Steel, or Aluminium Ruler. I don´t have an CNC Plotter.
I slit this slightly 4-5 times, than i crack it.
