Hi, sorry for not replying earlier.
Yes we used it at the Scarab gaming day, using WTGW rules.
Classing it as a MKV* with no troop carrying capabilities & using the breakdown table.
It gave the Brits a shock

Hi there

That is one excellent model , I have downloaded the plans [ thanks muchly for posting them ] and intend to do them no justice at all sometime in the new year 

What about some English competition for it ? on the model battlefield ?

Look at Super Heavy tanks , we English could be just as barking as the Germans however we never had the money to try the ideas out ?

Hi there

Well I have started mine and added some stuff to show scale.

Figure on left is a Matchbox American so 1/76 scale
Tank is a cheap T34 kit also 1/76  
Figure to right is 28mm or about 1/56 scale , that is the scale of the tank.
The front is on the left !


It is made from some free cardboard , picture mounting card [ about 1mm ] and maybe Bristol board [ about 1.5mm ]  I could not justify using styrene for such a folly !

Aircav hope you don't mind we adding to this thread ?

Thanks for the drawings Paul

Hi all

Ok busy picture the Hull is at the back you can see where I have done a little filling [ the grey stuff ] it is sat on the outer of a coffee cup corrugated cardboard heat shield that has been cut up to provide the tracks they can be seen in front.

The sponson are awaiting the Guns of which 4 can be seen having their tops & bottoms capped before being glued into place , there is also the cupola the white circle in the middle under one of the tracks.

Roll on the Xmas holiday when I can get back to it.

regards Paul

As aircav's build was part of a comp, wouldn't it make sense for this new build to be in its own thread?

[stormbird]

Hi all

Well really I was just showing Aircav that his plans were gratefully received and being used and that I hope it can be built in a low tech/cost way ?

regards Paul
