Hi Its all scratch built ,the longest part of doing the hull is waiting for the filler to dry so you can shape it and put more on where needed ,I usually do something else while the filler dries ,like cut the rear of turret. Only took a day to make the dozer blade and arms ,but took about a week to get the thing to raise and lower LOL .

regards pete

My Fault ? Hey nice dozer just think now you raise the blade and duck behind it in your battles you know like the arcade games duck behind your shield when they fire and then pop up and shoot back. And if all else fails just push em off the road.
Seriously though I like your blade and as you said the easy bits building it getting it to work takes time.
well done mate.

Hi Denzil Thanks for the help and the Idea ,now what can I do next, have a Firefly to wire and then I will have a little time to think about which one to do next. Have you any drawings of other types of Engineering types .Prefer WWII era. When the metal hulls come out thinking of doing a Crab (if I use one of them wont have to worry about the flail firing bits at the hull)

regards pete

I don't at the moment have anything WW11 era but I'll have a word with a collegue I did a favour for in the reme and see if he has anything obscure in the achives when I see him next.
