Hi All
Almost finished this project so thought I would show you a quick video. Needs a lot of fine details yet to make it look good such as hatches, headlight, tools etc and then a good paint job to finish. Thinking about the next project which might be 1/6. I fancy a M3 half track but might do another tank (any suggestions ??)
Please feedback whether good or bad but don't be too harsh as it is our first ever project and it is scratch built with our main reference being a 1/35 plastic model.

Great stuff, well done
Just one thing.... turret seems a bit fast to me, could it be geared down ?
But for a scatch build, I'm not gonna hold that against you. Well done again

Well done with the build. Looking at the video, it seems that the turret is loose , but nothing that cannot be fixed.

Re: scratch 1/8th steel panzer video up and running
Thanks for the nice comments. I agree the turret movement is too fast and we are going to alter it but just havent decided how yet.It also needs to be made more stable. Thanks again
