They are great little masterpieces for sure and a must for the serious builder, I would expect a lot of orders for those Dave! On that note Dave I need to order another four of the water slide transfers please as I had a reaction with the clear lacquer which bubbled the material but sometimes even us hardened builders have problems! so a tip don't use automotive lacquer to seal!

Hi Phil,

No problem, i'll sort some out and post. I use Vallejo Metal varnish for the base and top coat on the extinguishers and as a base coat on the drums. Then use Vallejo Matt varnish for top coat on the drums, or any matt item.

Best regards

Dave

Cheers mate

More done and now planning the next opening to detail.

Hi Phil,

Quad seat pads or Dingo is about it unless I make a new seat pad. Would need a couple more pics and enough interest though.

Cheers

Dave

Well fellow builders can express an interest right here ! What's the minimum number of orders to make it viable?

2,500

Lol do you have any master cylinders Dave, I need two for front left of the seat?

Keep on fettling Phil, Dave's not going to make it easy for you.

Super original stuff going on here.

I was thinking "Pop up Pirate" type animated Driver head like this idiot, push down the head and torso, close the hatch.
But I'm half and half on the detail thing now.

The drivers seat was the only decent position in the tank I could get comfy. Everywhere else just try's to maim you or remove a limb. Tripping hazards everywhere and the chance of ruddy great green lump pulverizing your body into the back of the turret too.
Otherwise all good.

This 5P had a green seat.

That drivers cab is extreme; nice one Phil!

On a separate note, could you tell me what is the maximum height you can have at the position where you currently have the batteries located?

VMT

I will check the clearance Richard but it may be more like the available depth down from turret ring, the protruding elevation mech is the ptoblem, also remember the gun was not an artillery piece so keep the barrel low!

Nice work as usual Phil

1 more photo for you.

Regards

Andy

I'm in the middle of having a couple of days off ,so here's a very nice diagram that I found of the drivers compartment for all those who would like to reproduce it.

I'm back on the case, the half battery boxes .
