Free HG Wells land tank
« on: November 03, 2010, 01:35:37 PM »
Found this on a great website that offers free plans for card stock models. Don't know if this will be of use to anybody, but it's an interesting design all the same. It's scaled for 15mm but I dare say you reproduce it in a larger scale using windows paint....

Thanks for sharing, it's a gorgeous looking model, just not sure if I could live with it in card form. Any of you talented sculptors want to take a crack at in 6mm scale? Anyone...? ;)

This kit is very well designed and challenging. Lots of small details that have to be crisply constructed to look right. I got through the construction of most of the wheels before giving it up.

If anyone does attempt to sculpt it you should be sure to contact Ralph Currell as I believe it is his actual design.

It would look beautiful in resin and metal though.
