That is a BIG tank... What base have you used to mount the suspension etc on ?... the molding of the top is a nightmare.... would it be worth running off an actual mold of it before you go any further ?..maybe you could sell some of them as a 'Helper' in case anyone decides to duplicate this beast !

Here is the American idea of a super heavy tank...The T-28..... it is very slow......and its got a small gun at only 105mm.... but its also got low profile.. Here is a fairly easy link to read...

The English part is just beneath the 'Spanish ?'....

It's not spanish. It's Brazilian Portuguese. Panzerserra is a Brazlilian Blog.

Hi cfredbandeira,
Thanks for the correction..... I must admit I was not very confident calling it Spanish... hence the question mark ?..... Brazilian Portuguese !!....WOW....
I guess that 'Tanks' are Pretty Much Universal !!

Mcevoyi,
I love the rivet work and can really appreciate the labor it takes to make long rows of precisely installed objects. Get better and keep up the pics, please.
