Nick,
Excellent little half track! I love the little gun, recoil and flash. It looks to be very well made. Great project, Brilliant!
Be careful to not drive it off the table! Can we see a video of it running outside perhaps?
Best regards,
Bob

Nick,
Thanks for extra pix! What a great looking rig! Your setting reminds me of Holland, a bridge too far.

Its got Armortek parts on it so it qualifies to be here IMHO! You can always post the photos and video in your gallery, if the forum is not approapriate. Of course Gill and Mark are the ultimate judge. Maybe we could have a new forum catagory. Vehicles made with Armortek parts?
Hopefully we can see the video,
Best regards,
Bob

Thanks Phil and Bob
I am very pleased with the way it all came together ,as its a finished model and the prototype at the same time it has worked out quite well in the end ,so mutch could have gone t.ts up with my working out and not having done any casting before ,it has realy been a chalenge.In total there are six holes drilled that had to be repositioned, thankfully not where they can be seen .In total it has taken one year and two months from begining to completion and that includes making the melting pot for the casting thanks for your posts look forward to seeing what you both get uptoo next .
regards
