VERY COOL... I have to applaud the effort ...it isn't easy to build something from scratch let alone in metal...with standard tools to boot..I dabbled in making "parts" with metal... and still found it a challenge to make them work
I cannot yet fathom making an entire tank out of metal without the use of machines ...but yes.. I sure would appreciate seeing some of your photos

You posted your pictures faster than I thought

...outstanding work... I can't believe you did that with standard hand tools
once again you should be applauded

What can I say,excellent build and one I certainly would not have attempted without the array of tooling available to me.As for weight they were not called Stalins Giants for nothing.

Good Evening,
As daunting as these tanks are in 1/16, 1/10 must be even more so. Then to build it in metal with hand tools. Amazing work! ;o)
regards,
Painless
