...the sideproject: a wooden A7V... there will be four wheels on each side. I'm not quite sure, which (weird) time period this could be from, but I'll add an optional smokestack

It is about 2/3 of the original's scale.

You're a sick, sick man Tobias;)

Love it.

The period it is from is 1917, as the original A7V prototype really was made of wood.

looks good

the impression is like some ACW time improvisation, some assault gun in the style of the siege gun artillery railway carriages

Obviously designed by an artillerist with a huge set of tweezers for pulling the gigantic splinters out.

If I had the chance I'd transfer to the Light Brigade. It had a better chance of survival

And it's a wonderful idea.

Why not make one with gutta percha walls? Solid shot would just bounce off.

I'll buy one of those!

Ah... looking good, was wondering when the rivets would show up.

What is that thing on the side, though? If it is a door, I don't think a door would be placed so close to the gun area. Think it needs to be moved back a bit.

Hi... I wanted to place the original's elements near their original position on this tank. Moving the door back would cause problems with the wheels

From that angle the wood-tank looks more narrow than it really is, there should be enough space to get in and out

Lovely job, you've certainly embraced the wire brush effect wood

I don't see a problem with that - think of all the early WWII tanks that had these hatches right at the side of the main gun area in the turret. Could have been a sound reason why so many tankers survived to become veteran IMHO.
and the A7V had what? 18 crew?

Ahhhh Haaaa....

Do carry on... I still want one!

Ray Rivers · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2010, 08:45:28 PM »

Perhaps though...

A bit smaller...
