RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Update #1

Tail Lights finished for now. Remaining work; Red Lens, LED lighting.

Update #2

Tank Infantry Phone box finished except for paint.

Judging by your previous work, I assume you are building a working phone to go in the box.

Update #3

Engine and Cooling Exhaust done except for “star locking” washers under bolt heads on Grills, still uncertain how best to do these.

Can you see the “cotter keys” on the Hinge Pins?

I had considered it but without a working 1/16 Infantry man it would be of little use!

Except for a few small exceptions, the rear of the tank is finished. I decided to show it installed on the chassis to get an overall perspective of the finished look.
So in no particular order here it is.

Just WoW......

Thanks Bruce, I appreciate you kind words.

I really enjoy working in this scale. The level of detail possible seems to be limited only by my skills, good reference material and available materials to work with.
All the brass work was a bit of a learning experience having to make jigs and tooling to hold pieces in place while soldering.

Next up is the TUSK I side armor. I am using Ludwigs hobbies Abrams Side Armor as the nucleus.
I may post some pics over the weekend depending on how far I get.
