At last we are starting to make progress on these models and am now starting to get a little excited so thought I would share the latest photos
...For anyone who hasn't followed the build here is a link to our build in the large scale section

Have just treat myself to a small milling machine so thought i would try it out by making the limit stops for the control arms....Not as easy as i thought but getting better slowly (see photos below)
Also we are now starting to actually fix the running gear together and am pleased so far with the results. Frank has just started to make the 3 top wheels that the track will run on so hopefully by next week we can start to work out what motors to use and how to fit them in the tank..
The shock absorbers on the front and rear cogs actually work using a small spring inside and the middle wheels are gong to have springs on their shafts inside the tank to provide suspension..The limit stops will be fitted in the next few days
