Title: "NOT" Vickers Mark 3 Medium Tank
Post by: Pappa Midnight on March 17, 2013, 04:21:29 PM: I took a chance on an Ebay "looky likey" tank which is based loosely on a Vickers mk3.
Got to say for the price it is very nice!!!!
I modelled a hatch onto the main turret (+commander) as well as a new main gun and vision slits. I added some MG's onto the small turrets as well as some view ports. I then painted it in Anglican League colours.
I'm pretty pleased how it has turned out.

So no army shot yet to offer for us? ;D

As it isn't a "real" tank I pretty much don't care. I bought it as a cheap force filler for my army. ::)

"... very impressive professor. It meets all the requirements we specified, good armour protection and some formidable fire-power. It is also under the 18 ton limit we set and is well under budget. One small question, how do you get into it?" _{Colonel Douglas Finch taking charge of his new Forbes & Layton Mk2 Medium Tank}

Fair enough. I don't really care. I'm just being pedantic because I've been building my own set of similar tanks and I've spent a lot of time trying to make them as realistic as I could.

Post by: FramFramson on March 25, 2013, 04:49:06 PM: @ Moif: You could very easily put a second hatch directly behind the turret if you really wanted. ;)

Post by: doowopapocalypse on March 27, 2013, 01:03:19 AM: Quite big and blue. Don't want to be pricking any feelings, but don't many tanks also have a hatch underneath? I think I like the driver most, he can barely see out.

Love the color and the detailing.

I've just finished adding some detail parts to a "Not Indiana Jones" tank from the same seller. I should get it painted over Easter, this time for my VBCW B.U.F. force.
