Mine is ill advised as it going to be so ridiculously complicated to build...

I am very sorry to admit you are probably right - I wouldn't know where to begin

Indeed - you are a hero Vanvlak. I hope everything runs smoothly. Everyone is a winner in this regardless of the final outcome.

I am so not a hero that I am bleeding hoping it will run smoothly too!

Actually, everyone is a loser, as all our ideas are (wait for it)... ill-advised.

Simply pile plasticard adn MDF together and remove the bits that aren't tank... filler hides the cockups.
That's my usual tactic and I'm hoping it will work in this case (Though I suspect this one will be a huge lump of filler...!)

I am so going to follow your build.

I was wondering about the complex curves on the lower hull - nasty.

Filler

Lots of filler!

Could you not just make a hull-down version? Bury it in an earth mound?.....or is it the challenge of the weird looking hull that motivates you?

Rich H · « **Reply #111 on:** January 12, 2018, 06:14:21 PM »

And not build the 4 sets of tracks?! That's far too easy...

Well it's Sunday morning for me now. Can I get started? Lol. Actually going to the beach so it will be this evening anyway.

I've spent the day scraping paint off a ceiling... you can start later!

Now I'm envious.

Hi Vanvlak, apologies for the flip-flop but I will withdraw from this competition. I can't seem to find the motivation.

Sorry the theme didn't strike a motivating chord - but no worries. That means you'll have more time for other stuff

Nah, it's more about me than the theme. And you are right, my attention is focused on other hobby stuff.

I do wish all the entrants the best, I have been seriously impressed with what I have seen.

Also bowing out. I had ideas which I was just about to start but then my body said no.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
