Re: Gig's 1:16 FCM F1
Looks a really awesome piece of work
What tracks are you planning to use?
I’m currently on with a 1/16 T35-A, well the printing is nearly complete.
The STL’s are on Thingiverse.
I thought, I wonder if it would be possible to print a 1/6 version. I’ve printed a handful of track links, a small turret & one suspension unit is printing now, at 1.7m longI know it would take about 6 months plus to print, but I might just give it a go.

No wonder Hitler had such a hard-on for his own monster tanks.
Are you going to follow this with a Char B1? I always thought it would make an interesting subject to model in 1/16.

Re: Gig's 1:16 FCM F1
added mud guard's shoulder brackets so they can just hang from the hull roof and will drill a hole into the side for the rear mounting as a lock for the hull roof

Re: Gig's 1:16 FCM F1
reworked the engine deck, turret ring armor, radio antenna and exhaust. made them into one piece for better rigidity and less flimsy parts.
more to come soon!
