1/6 scale scratch built Cromwell MKIV

Post by boxerdog »

Hi all, here is my latest pride & joy, i bought it from the guy who built it (kieren spooner), kieren and his father have built many 1/6 models and are quite well known for their unique detail and set-ups, This cromwell has a custom smoke unit that uses same fluid as the disco fog machines and leaves a nice cloud behind that really does stand out, the driver has servos on each drive stick so he looks like he is driving, the gunner also has a servo and operates the hull mg, along with the benedini comet soundboard (meteor engine) and camera flash mounted in the barrel, it really does look the nuts :D here is some photos and a video that kieren did of it back in 2009, i now have my dragon british crew and monty for it so looks the part :clap:

enjoy

cheers

Good Morning,
Lucky fellow! Amazing amount of detail and finesse lavished on that tank. I got a chuckle out of your wagon transporter as well.
regards,

Hi boxerdog.

Along with a lot of forum members on here, I know kieren and Ray. they scratch build allied stuff, lots of trips to Bovington with tape measure and camera.
Earlier this year Ray was talking about selling a few of their models. You have a very good buy there. :thumbup:
