VICKERS MK6B's resto

I am going to make the race in layer and weld them together as the profile is not something I can do in one piece but as I am able to cut all layers very accurate it will not be a problem as long as I manage the heat during the welding process. When I first saw the top of these tanks, I was amazed how thin the material was not knowing the profile of the turret ring and race as that is where it gets its strength from. The turret is almost as wide as the tank itself.
It really a very good design and a very interesting one to make as well. I had I price of $7k to make each race and a 2 month waiting time from China. Happy to make my own.
