Hey Boxerdog,

Great pics. Could I ask that you re-size them to a max of 800x600 please!?

They are extremely hard to view on a lappy, esp without a mouse.

Thanks

I do love the large scale tanks. I would love to make the jump to 1/6th eventually, if I had the money/space for one of these tanks! lol 
I read on the Mark 1 website that they can be fitted to fire blanks, now that would look awesome!
Cheers,
Rik

wow those tanks are pretty awesome! just wish their were actually affordable! lol    never knew they did a churchill tank in 1/6 scale,

I think that 1/6 Churchill is a scratch built.

And ... the first picture, the Tiger 1 with its turret removed, is a 1/4 Tiger 1

thats a damn shame its scrathbuild 'cos if i were to get a large scale tank it'd have to be a churchilL!

great job though to whoever did it!

Hi,

Yes, the Churchill is scratch built, mostly of wood but you would never know it. It was created by K/R Spooner and I believe plans are available for anybody who feels adventurous. I've seen it run on several occasions and it goes really well.

I couldn't find a link for the plans, but if any interested parties give me a pm I can put you in touch with the Spooners.
