:thumbup: It's good. I want to model Hotchkiss H38 in 1/10 at some stage. I'll have a look into Fusion again.

Another interested buyer for a Whippet. Am currently assembling Inkor's Mark IV that I scaled up to 1/10 & am printing his Char 2C while an A7V waits in the wings. These old landships are nice to finally see come into being.

Not much to show but these Hotchkiss MGs take a bit of drawing.

Most excellent work! :clap:

Thanks for that view of the suspension behind those mud chutes. That certainly answered some questions I had.

I presume this is meant to be a 1/16 release but would kill for a proper 1/10 model. Resizing is not a problem as I've done before with Inkor's work but it does tend to become more fiddly in some aspects.

Last few wee parts added before i can start printing (probably after the holidays).

Grousers add.

And tools.

Gearbox finally arrived, will need to add smaller motors to get it to fit. Don't want to widen the hull as it will through off the proportions.

Final drive will be via a toothed timing bel.
