Welcome aboard! That’s certainly going to be quite a huge model. I look forward to seeing it being created. You must be young and strong!

Zowie! Welcome: one-quarter scale? This I have to see. I hope you will provide pictures and keep us up to date. I believe there are a few here on RCTW who could actually manage such a project, so you will be intriguing us all. Will you be able to ride in it?

Many of you have seen this already: https://youtu.be/crm-dP0We4M

:O Well, I like your ambition!. :thumbup: :D There's probably not a front door in Britain that will allow a 1/4 scale Challenger 2 to pass through. o- Maybe you create a sort of bespoke giant catflap. Then again, because it's a Challenger, I kind of assumed that you're UK-based. Whereabouts are, you, in fact?
Anyway, no doubt we'll all be fascinated to see how you manage this, and the solutions you come up with along the way. :wave:

Hello and welcome Ninjaman,

Wow, that will be an undertaking of epic proportions! A worthy project no doubt! Keep us informed, we'll all be watching with rapt attention! With all the amazing artists and builders here, at least you'll have lots of brainpower to pull from if needed!

Cheers,
Eric.
