RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi all

Its been a while since i really got my teath in actually building a ' tank '...and i looked around for a while and wanted to something no one has yet attempted ?
But i am also sure that some one out there may have done it ..but i can't gind any evidence ..to date ...

Well its going to be a bit of a slow build ..and that down to a lack of funds ...even simple things like a second set of HL king tiger tracks will have to wait .....but at least i can sort of get going ?'

Its take an age to finally get enough hl sherman suspension units together for the build ..16 sets / units in all ...and no much of a mod to get the spacing between them to fit the hl kt tiger tracks ....and i opted to use the hl kt sprockets and idellers just to save money ...but i also need a second set of rear idellers to help with the ' look ' of the running gear when finally complete .....

So..here we go ...pic time

So a few more pics ,,

The running looks wrong.....it should look like this......

ooooh, a good start mcevoyi
i do think must clime's is the right way to go though!

An interesting project.....

If you build such an easy drive of only the plastic tank may not be as difficult as the original ...

I'm curious how it goes.....

Hi all

Right ..finally sat down and started to really build tortoise ...got at last a second set of KT tracks ..so this morn i started measuring thinking and cutting plastic card

And so it begins .

I am now trying to figure out how you are going to make Tortoise shells?

Original build there, no one else has done one as far as I know, so this will be one to follow.

Hi all

Just a quick update ..ere in doors is pestering me to go out when all i want to do is bash the plastic ....gerrrr

Any way late night last night .. its beginning to take shape ... its big ...bigger than i expected ..even though i have a set of plans to work from ...the 3d form is still bit of a surprise how big ..big is ! .....

Any was ..pic time and sorry there not that great this morning.....but shopping is calling ......nutts

It's looking good ! Will be watching this take shape!
