Hi there Alpha
Some nice ideas there ....but how about to early ww2 armour ..no one seems to look at it at all....theres almost no one doing any nice builds on the panzer 3 And no one tackelled the panzer 2 ...hetzers / panzer 38 / marder
Need less to say ..early allies armour ...like the matilda...vallentine ....
And i dont think i ever seen any one have a look at Japanese ....Canadian Australian ..south African french ...Italian ...built armour at all ....
And post ww2 ..the skys the limit .....i known there been a few attempts to build the centurion ..or variations of the pershing ...leopard 2 and abrams
But not much else ...
I so understand that we are all very limited what we can build .as its down to available running gear ....but its such good fun..trying to see what can be built with what we have !

Hey there mcevoyi... yeah... I totally agree... but this was meant to be a contributory thread.. not just me... so I thought I'd leave the door open for other to put something here..
I was also going to add some of the Japanese armor... just because some of the tanks look so very cool... but just like the T=38... might have drive and component acquisition problems during a build... as you stated in your summary
I guess what I am trying to put here... are tanks that are possible to create using what's out there...
With that said... I now know of your skill and ability in scratch building ..to which I am really impressed...

... unfortunately not everyone has the eye.. tools .... and resources to complete a build ...take here for instance... there is only one hobby shop that carries plasticard... and they carry such small quantities you probably couldn't create a GOLIATH
Reason most of the unusual models I've chosen to post can be possibly be made by kitbashing
ALPHA
ps. yes... they are fun to create.. I've been in this RC thing only for a few months... and my mind is already adventuring where it really shouldn't
