a) Very good work. Look forward to seeing it painted.
b) How heavy is it? Looks solid.
c) When will it be motorised? 
d) This isn't going in the painting competition is it? I mean I suppose it's a Pendraken product ...

I'm looking forward to seeing it painted, its hollow made from 1mm low carbon steel. 
It won't be motorised that needs doing at the start with machining work and I would have to look at a bike chain type system for the drive.
For the painting competition I could reduce the photograph size ;)

Thanks for the comments, I've got the basics for the diorama started a old school table, extended the width to 900mm and kept the length at 1500.  Any ideas for making the terrain I was thinking of sand based paint with extra sand and PVA glue added?

That looks superb. It looks like it should be on a monument at Cambrai.

By my calculations, a 6' tall crewman would be just shy of 10' tall, and a 5'6" crewman would be about 9' tall ...

Techno! Oh Techno! Bit of a challenge for you.

If Leon provides me with all the green stuff....I'll give it a go. (No, I won't !)

(Last time I made some 90mm tall figures, so they could be pantographed down for 30mm 'plastics', was the only time I had an allergy to the epoxy in green stuff. Mind you, I was mixing handfuls of the putty.)

I'd noticed that, Mike.  ;)

It'd cost **** knows...... Just for the green stuff......and it'd never fit in a mould.  ;D ;D ;D

I think Nobby has confused ' with ".  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Latest pics, Craig from the paint shop has cleaned the rust off the steel and put a coat of grey zinc based primer on the tank.  Hope to get the next images midweek :)
