Hi All,
Had the first bit of laser cut aluminium last week, now I know how nice it comes out, I am working on the cutting list for the rest. Although the wood cutting list for the sponsons comes first. Working the sponsons out is proving harder than the rest of the tank...Sooo many angles!!
The last pic is me trying not to look frozen as the wind hits me straight in the face... smile Helen, smile.... brrrrrrr
Hope you like.
Helen

Hi Christopher,
THe plans I am using are my own, there is though a more basic set available for free on the Landship site. It was a thank you to all the people on there who helped me through the years it took to get them done. Also in the hope of seeing some more accurate models out there.
Hmm... I say the plans are done, but there are still updates and the tailwheel assembly to finish.

The hope is still to get a few of these made and then knock out some kits to buy.... Still early days, so keep an eye out around the end of the year.

Hi All,
Not much to show at the moment as most of the work is still computer stuff. I have though added a few rivets to the metal test sheets. Looks nice.

Hi All,
Emailed the DXF files for the sponson yesterday, so should have myself a wooden jigsaw to do next week. This big lump of a tank is about to get very, very, wide.
