SNJ WIP Tank Thread
SNJ WIP Tank Thread
Since i know how much Steel Bonnet has been in to this project, I figured Id share this with you guys over here over here. I started this on about 8/22 and still have a ways to go on her. The basic idea behind the project was to create a tank of my own design and build it from as close to scratch as possible. The only things i havent fabricated thus far on it are the road wheels, idler drive sprokets and treads. Everything has been made out of various thicknesses of sheet styrene, as well as styrene rods, tubing etc.
Let me know what you think!

And heres the original thread that contains all of my ramblings and updates through the course of the project

tamiya parts would help, but im trying to find something other than one of the turned metal barrels for cost reasons, like maby a stock barrel someone replaced with a metal one, etc

i think i just found my solution
its from a "Hobby Zone" 1/16 abrams, and its plastic, wich means its alot more cost efective then a turned aluminum one and will be easier for me to work with
i picked up one of these abrams form Raiderad6 a while back, so i already know it'll be almost perfect for my tank
mg, apreciate the offer, but i dont know if you could machine a part to the same exact tolerances i hold my work to. Thank god for squadron putty
