The tank is brilliant Rich!

Thanks

3x hulls printing overnight... touch wood they were looking OK when I left for work this morning... about 90% finished. Apparenty waiting for 3d printing to finish is not an acceptable reason for being late for work.

I think a Medium Mark III will follow in time, it has the same 'feel' about it.
Then possibly a Medium Mark II to round out the set of small, medium and large British inter war rubbish tanks.

3 hulls in one print!
Turrets next.

I will print them if you ask nice

What if I ask very, very nicely?

The Mark III definitely fits in the same goofball vein. A medium Mark II would be great for late BoB or colonial Northwest Frontier games. I guess you could say those choices are... on the mark.

.... but the cafe sells deep fried Mars Bars and Irn Bru as a consolation?

Well at least it's not like every English institution selling jellied eels, whelks, kendal cake, and pearly queen spit.

Not up here in the North West, it's all fish and chips, pies and Blackpool rock.

Big thanks to Rich.

Mark.

Hope it meets your expectations!

tin shed gamer · « **Reply #87 on:** March 06, 2019, 05:13:41 PM »

In all honesty Rich it's a little smaller than I expected.(Not because of your sculpting as its cracking) I think its because I've nothing for a basis of comparison.Then it is a one off prototype tank.Plus I'm use to the scale tweaking and minimum thickness required for reliable resin casts.

It's an absolutely lovely and intelligent sculpt.
The more I think about it I've an in grained senses of tanks . partly being from an infantry background, and partly from being a ten year old paper boy on bike , at Catterick garrison. Desperately trying not to be grunt ground by Chieftains.
( it really clears both the mind and the bowels when you physically feel track links pass your ears. Every morning through an October.)
In short BIG and very loud.

Glad you like it!

Going to make you clench that... I used to work near Whittington Barracks and we used to get the columns of warriors on the A38 nose to tail flat out in the outside lane.... you just got out he way!

Not sure why you were cycling down the A38 in the outside lane when you were younger Rich.. Does explain a lot though..
