hi all I'm in the start to building a challenger 2 tank from scratch I'm using a 1/35 scale tank and scaling it up to a 1/4 scale I know its going to take some time I love this tank and it is going to be a challenge so hoping be here will help and make some new friends on the way.

Welcome aboard! That’s certainly going to be quite a huge model. I look forward to seeing it being created. You must be young and strong!

Welcome Sir!

WOW, a Very ambitious project! Will be using 3D printing?

Barry

Looking forward to seeing this take shape. Welcome!

Zowie! Welcome: one-quarter scale? This I have to see. I hope you will provide pictures and keep us up to date. I believe there are a few here on RCTW who could actually manage such a project, so you will be intriguing us all. Will you be able to ride in it?

Many of you have seen this already: https://youtu.be/crm-dP0We4M

Well, I like your ambition!. There's probably not a front door in Britain that will allow a 1/4 scale Challenger 2 to pass through. Maybe you create a sort of bespoke giant catflap. Then again, because it's a Challenger, I kind of assumed that you're UK-based. Whereabouts are, you, in fact?
Anyway, no doubt we'll all be fascinated to see how you manage this, and the solutions you come up with along the way.

hi all thanks for your reply yes I am in the uk west midlands and no I'm not using a 3d printer it all going to be done by hand I know it's not going to be easy but it's something I want to do I will take pinchers all along the way I'm working on the lower hull at the moment .

Hello and welcome Ninjaman,

Wow, that will be an undertaking of epic proportions! A worthy project no doubt! Keep us informed, we'll all be watching with rapt attention! With all the amazing artists and builders here, at least you'll have lots of brainpower to pull from if needed!

Cheers,
Eric.
