Hello, I'm building a tank.
Hello, I'm building a tank.
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.

Bare metal tanks always have a very nice look (just my personal opinion of course

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! Canadian war Museum specimen (photo from WE Storey Collection)

Re: Hello, I'm building a tank.
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.
