Thanks for all the positive views !
And MikeN, yes definetly the Maltese wall / block pattern. Will test my finishing skills as I usual rush to get on with the next project.
One thing on my long list of things is to find the correct colours for the scheme and who’s paint to then use.
Any feedback appreciated.
Next instalment will hopefully all together and running !
Until then
Dave
1:6 Vickers Light Tank MKVI
Re: 1:6 Vickers Light Tank MKVI
Quick update.
Getting the turret up to scratch has been slow, but there are lots of 'bits and pieces' that always take a lot of spare time. Seemed to have to get a new stock of rivets in but then after the 400th - 1/16 rivet / 3/64 rivet / 10 BA screw on the turret alone, I decided to stop counting
!.
Now onto radio etc .....
Have decided that my old 27mHz radio gear, old nicads, and home made speed controllers belong in a museum, so its a trip to the model shop to get one of those new fancy, programable RC transmitter and receiver combos - will be fun and no doubt expense when I buy all of the LiPo's, chargers and add on goodies !
Till next time, keep building and playing - you are never to old to be a big kid ......
Cheers
