So I was looking through some old photos and wondered how other people's tanks had developed over the years and there skill level, i bought my first tank 7/8 years ago a big standard panzer III It started out like this
Soon started to weather it

And it now 7 years later it looks like this
This is the tank I have worked on the least over the years!
My first tiger has has come alot further




From a box of bits to a bright yellow disaster to a beautiful late war beast am proud of, whatever made me think that hello was a good colour

that's what happens when you rush in and do no research!
So let's see your proudest developments

Only the one for me so far

As a kid I had loads of static tanks, AFVs & aircraft (even a few ships) initially from Airfix and later on from Tamiya - in various scales.
I only got into RC stuff a little over a year ago, the main aim being to use it as an attraction to our charity stall. Since then it's developed (with the help, advice and parts from Stian Sollie, Jamrs Canham and Carson DKLM) into something I'm pretty pleased with

That definitely looks finished to me dude

time to start the next one

you got any ideas about what you would do next? Am thinking of doing an abrams but Barry C 's has kinda put me off because its so good and I know everytime I look at mine I would want to emulate something else he did, I would never finish it

am also toying with the idea of a tiger II or sug III

Hmm, for me it would be a Chieftan, Centurion or a Challenger (1) (spot the theme?) in that order of preference.

Yeah I saw haya are doing the chieftain but it's ridiculously priced, could get a tamiya for that! But it is tempting, or a t-90
