Hello

I joined the forum in April and this is my first tank. It is a Taigen late production Panzer VI Tiger 1. It has been re-painted and all the electronics have been upgraded.

I started work on this video about four weeks ago inspired by last months competition... (so it was filmed and edited to last months rules as a stand alone video) Because it is suddenly to long for the new rules I have not added the maximum number of pictures. It is just under 4 mins long so I hope this is ok, I really don't want to cut it in half! I put allot of time and work into this video for the fun of making it and to teach myself how to edit, so please please watch my video and watch it on the actual YouTube site if possible (Bigger picture!) I would really appreciate some views and feedback!

Welcome along and thanks for entering.
For me the video is great, tAnk looks great but the soundtrack music ruins the effect and quality of the tAnk sounds.
Trying to be constructive and helpful, great editing job and love the tank.

I am glad you like the tank and my video, many thanks! I am working on a new sound mix i will hopefully re-upload tomorrow.

[c.rainford73]

Yes indeed it's a beauty Once you find a different medium to post pictures other than the dreaded photobucket you will be able to show off your pictures!

The tank sounds awesome, I would scrap the music. Photobucket is no longer of any use when trying to post forum pics, the best route is to upload a pic directly on to the forum.

Taking part in the new form of the monthly competition here’s my scratch built Centurion Mk.III, playing an important role in the Korean War taking place in the early 50th.
I´ve designed it in 3D-CAD first for making a model kit, consisting mostly of milled styrene and printed/casted parts.



Electrics are still from HL (RX-18, 27 Mhz) an Mato gears.

But be lenient - the video was made by the worst cameraman/producer ever

How do you you choose between these 3 other than with a blindfolded choice? I keep looking for an "all the above" option on the poll...!
