Of course. I can take a few pictures when I´m home again. Die tortoise is a full scratch-build mostly made from polystyrol-sheets. Interals are 2 selfbuild gearboxes powered by an Elmod Elo. Thracks and drive wheels are from a Kingtiger.
This is an older pictures with the old gearbox.
Here you ca see that it is made from poly
3 years in the past there was´not an accurate MENG 1:35 Tortoise model, so i took all the measures from blueprints and pictures. Today i have the 1:35 model for exact measures. So the second build will be much more accurate. Tracks and all Details will be casted in Zamak (similar to the Heng Long metal-Tracks material)
This is my 3d blueprint for now
