Re: Heavy tank MkVIII, full scratch 1/16 scale
I never really liked the look of World War 1 tanks, until I saw this one. That's very cool and you're doing a really great job on it. I'll be watching.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

A good balance of skill and determination here. The end result should be a museum-quality model.

Being that this looks to be all scratch built you’ve got quite the project ahead of you ,excellent work so far and Its going to be enjoyable watching it unfold.
But it’s a dry heat!

Hi!
Sooo, this long term project is coming along nicely, slowly but surely.
I already achieved the upper casemate, the main central body and remained the four sides to "dress".
Though the two inner ones are already in progress as is the left outer one, it is now time to show the right hand side completed with its complete set of road rollers greasing ends, rivets and bolts.
Thanks for looking!

Good lord, that's a lot of rivets!
