tank of some description
Very interested to see what this will end up as. Will it have a turret?
Terrific work though Colin. Is this for a business or reenactors? ryan

i'm surprised the carrier fundamentalists haven't lynched you yet.
 have you thought about making a vickers light tank, it seems the obvious choice and would be almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing rick

I was at Colins place just before Christmas and this is what he started with. I think it was the 24th.December.
There are certainly some changes. Well done! Regards Rick.

In the end it is his and he will do what he wants with it.
The purist are likely cringing in the shadows. Myself I say grand job. I like the suggestion of the Vickers tank using the same approach. If you are not a slave to authenticity on the inner guts then it makes it feasable and affordable to do. I like that approach, especially if no other runners exist. R

Morning everyone. This machine is for a buisiness and I must admit I would'nt do this for myself, I prefer the original. A vickers would look good but I have an original Vickers light tank here to do up and that will be a lot more of a challenge. At this stage I have'nt given much thought at the top section but all Idea's are good ones.
Colin.

Awesome Colin, love projects like this. Shame you can't squeeze another Bogie assembly and wheel in there. Self propelled gun type could look the part or check out the NZ built Schofield tank. That had a turret in proportion with the size of the vehicle and was armed with Australian 2 pounder. anyway enjoy your posts. Cheers David.
