1/16 scale Bridge Layer

Post by 971wright »

Hi Guys here is something that has taken over 12 months to get working, Bridge Layer based on a Tamiya Pershing lower, the rest is all scratch built.

Hi Pete I've seen it as a WIP and it is an astounding piece of engineering and modelling - you should enter it for tank of the month!

What really amazes me is that you can lift & lower it from either end of the bridge. Every other bridge layer I've seen is limited to only one connection point. VERY impressive engineering and building skills! Thank you for sharing it.
