Holy s*#t!
It's a land battleship! Impressive printing there, you might have to put a small petrol engine in to run it, what's the estimate on finished weight?
Awesome build

I’m hoping that the completed tank minus electronics, batteries & drive train will come in under 25kg, time will tell though lol

Wayne not sure if I missed it, but what electronics and drivetrain have you considered? I find this build so interesting and now that it's really coming into shape I'm very curious

To be honest I’ve not given it any thought, I have an open panzer control board so I can run separate esc’s but I want to have all the turrets operational so I may need a couple more & a much better radio. I’ve been told wheelchair motors are the way to go but I’m open to any advice offered.

If you do use wheelchair/mobility scooter motors make friends with the local shop. They often get returns from families that they don't really want: might be a cheaper way of getting the parts.

Now that the hull is all in one piece I’ve sanded the first side to accept a coat of primer, I’d forgotten just how hard sanding is on a bigger scale lol

Looks a good piece of kit . Well worth it when it’s finished

Hold on, do my eyes deceive me, or do I spy a couple of makeshift dovetail joints

Yep, at 1/16 the hull prints in 3 pieces that are dovetailed together, I had to cut it a lot more at 1/6 as you can see

This build is looking even more impressive with each instalment Wayne, it's going to be a hugh beast when complete

Cheers, Lee.
