MIGMADMAVIS · Post by **MIGMADMAVIS** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:04 pm

Hey there, check this out!!! Its a little off scale, Id say around 1/7 maybe, Its made mostly out of Poplar wood, sheet metal, and hard cardstock. It measures about 36 inches long, and about 15 inches tall. Tell me what ya'll think!!!

Did you make that??

It looks pretty good! You need to find one or two of the old 1:6 scale GI Joe "WWI Doughboy" figures, or perhaps any other WWI figure made by Dragon or some other company to go alon with it

Ya, I made it, and it took a pretty long time

but I do have 1 of the Doughboy figures, and I just scored a few german, and french WWI figures in 1/6 from my brothers old collection, so ive got myself a little army so far

I saw a similar WWI tank in one of the 1/6 forums and it was setup in a diorama with WWI 1/6 scale figures....it looked really good and the figures were even coztumized as WWI tank crewmen.

There was a 1/6th Mk IV or sale on e-bay a year or so ago. They had it painted in a captured German camo paint scheme. The over all was good but it looked way off scale . I can't remember what it ended up selling for

here is the link to the OSW forum where the post was made and both your tank and the one in the OSW forum look really good.
