Hi Thanks for the comments
After I finish her I'm still working on a 1:16 WW 1 Mk5, I've mocked up the drive train but have yet to cut any proper side panels out. Also I have scaled the plans for 1:16 stuart so might play with that in between scratching my head on the Mk V

It kind of does your head in, lower looks familiar, turret looks familiar, together they are visually confusing as you mind tries to assemble the components in order !!
Very well done to get a unique example of a rare AFV into reality.
Good on you mate ;)

Hi
The Gun barrel is an old Mato BB outer that I put into a pillar drill and sanded a bit thinner to give it a more realistic size, But ideally the barrel should have more taper on it to the muzzle but with out constructing a barrel from scratch,( to be totally correct) which I may do in the future. I thought to leave it as is for now until in the future I have better means to do a proper job.

For me, that is the only thing that detracts from a perfect build. Beautifully converted.

T20 next?

Top work Denzil, its always good to see someone having a go at doing something totally unique. It's a 'very' neatly done conversion. :thumbup:
