Superb model.
Would be brilliant to see this and the FT in the flesh ! (Ie at model engineering show)

What’s next build Mike ?

What an amazing build.

Thanks for the kind comments.
Next build is not going to be a tank. Years ago I started scratch building a 1:4 scale 9 cylinder Bentley BR2 engine as fitted to a Sopwith Pup. I need to finish that and get it running (its quite a complex and difficult build). So, unless anyone wants to see that...
But meanwhile:

The model is absolutely phenomenal! I love watching your technique and skills - that's really motivating!

Certainly a demonstration of skill and patience.

"Years ago I started scratch building a 1:4 scale 9 cylinder Bentley BR2 engine." Might you be putting up photos of that "build" on some other forum? or elsewhere? I would watch in awe. But it is a lot of trouble to take photos and post them all the time. Regardless, go get 'em!

Very inspiring build thank you

Outstanding on both BT and FT - amazing models. Your metal work is inspirational. Would love to see threads on your other projects (Bentley) and anything else!
Your projects were some of the main inspiration for me to join RCTW.
Best regards,
