Post by mcevoyi »

hi all

its been a while since i actually built something of substance ...

so after many months of looking round for ideas as i have gotten well and truly fed up with german armour ...

here i go again.....

T29E3 eventually as it looking like it will be a fairly long build ? the turret is a sod ....

EASY PART now to rea arrange the height of the sprocket was easy .i..its needs to be moved up to line up with the return rollers and track much like the m48 / 60 series of tanks ...hmmm ? i also changed the standard pershing gerboxes for low profile form a tiger 1

That's going to be one mean-looking tank, this looks like a really interesting build and I will be following along with great interest. :thumbup: Alwyn
