Its coming on a lot faster than mine is!!

Nice one Paul, its starting to look really tasty now. I'm looking forward to seeing it with the trailer and a Sherman on board.

pete do you have the dimensions for the mudguards by anychance maybe able to help you out

Kind regards Rob

Hi Rob,

Been thinking about this. Difficult to give you dimensions because there are (lots of) deviations from scale. Possibly the best thing to do would be to let you have the tyre dimensions and a photo of a real mudguard?
I can't get at the thing at the moment. Its buried in the conservatory behind loads of car boot sale stuff dumped by 'er in drawers. (For one of her dog charities). Knew I should have taken it straight into the workshop when I got back from Shepton!!

I really hate being defeated by something I don't have the skills to make.

Paul - how is yours coming on ?

well the tractor unit is 90% done going to start the trailer this weekend

superb work guys, totally astounding, looking forward to the trailer update, keep up the good work.

well i started the trailer today i have got the walking beams done and thay work well just need the wheels to finnish the running gear then i thought that i better check that a tank could climb the ramps so i have mocked a set out of ply wood and fitted them to the trailer as i thought they needed some grip so i put some wet and dry on the ramps that solved the problem now i can make the proper ramps and rc them so far its going to plan


paul

Fantastic work Paul.

Cheers

Thats going to be a real eye catcher when its finished - I reckon just over 3ft long?

Peter

nice one paul certainly coming along love the work so far

pete if you get the measurements for the tyres let me know i will see what i can do already spoke to the guys at work to see whats needed one possibility is to make them in 2 halves and solder together
