British FV107 Scimitar MK1 CVRT

Post by Sub »

Hi,
Thought i would post some pics of my latest Fabricobble, a bit reticent about posting as its not a high dollar build but a model under construction made from old unused parts, scrap, junk, old toys, spit, bubble gum and baling wire and anything else i could find, lots of styrene sheet, 11 ba nuts, bolts, brass, aluminium mesh lots of scratch made stuff and a bit of ingenuity thrown in, so if you could bare it in mind.
A couple of pics.
I will update with more pics if there is any interest.
Regards.

My spit, bubblegum, and baling wire does NOT look like that!
Impressive!

If that made from scrap, spit, bubble gum and baling wire. I would hate to what you do with the good stuff.
