Saw this over at the JoeCustoms forum and thought it looked pretty cool. I don't know how accurate it is in the scale department but it looks close enough.

That is very nicely done! Something Hasbro should have seriously considered before the IJ line tanked... The model is a bit on the large scale... I've seen the British tank the IJ one was based off and while it is large, it is not that large. Still, great work!

tman's right, it's a bit oversized actually (go figure!) but well made regardless. He should've tried making the barbed wire himself I think though, as the PTE wire's noticeably out of place I think... I love the paint and the attention to detail. I'm curious where the tank treads came from and how functional they are?

Again, large, but outstanding.

To the bes tof my knowledge Hasbro DID consider the TLC tank as a future item before the line's demise quickly closed in on it.

a good place to find the TOD wave - check out Kroger grocery stores - found that wave there - although not to excited about it.

Those look like Heng Long Tiger I treads and they are 100% functional. They hold up to tremendous abuse on the 1/16th R/C tanks.

This model is incredible and deserves some kind of award. $450 worth of supplies makes him one dedicated model maker.
