Thanks for the kind comments.
Next build is not going to be a tank. Years ago I started scratch building a 1:4 scale 9 cylinder Bentley BR2 engine as fitted to a Sopwith Pup. I need to finish that and get it running (its quite a complex and difficult build). So, unless anyone wants to see that...
But meanwhile:

"Years ago I started scratch building a 1:4 scale 9 cylinder Bentley BR2 engine." Might you be putting up photos of that "build" on some other forum? or elsewhere? I would watch in awe. But it is a lot of trouble to take photos and post them all the time. Regardless, go get 'em!
