Hello, I'm building a tank.

Post by MikeN »

Hello, my name is Mike, I'm in Sussex the UK.
My project is a WW1 Renault FT in 1/ 6 scale.
It's all steel construction with a cast iron turret (so it's getting quite heavy).
If anyone is interested I will post some pictures.
It's not yet finished so I'm not sure what category to put it in.
Cheers.

Welcome, of course we are interested, where are these pictures!!!!!!
Bare metal tanks always have a very nice look (just my personal opinion of course :D )

Welcome from another Mike in Ontario, Canada.
The nearby Canadian War Museum has a Renault FT on display. Tiny little thing but any tank in 1/6 AND metal is going to be a big, impressive thing! Pics please!

I started a thread in the general discussion area . I could see all the pictures and writing, but an hour later and it's all disappeared.
Why is that?

It is in the Large Scale Builds. It was moved by a moderator to the correct spot.
