Default top hat

I've always liked these little tankettes from skoda.
They remind me of a little Stug, and are about the size of a carrier.

Looks good, interested in what it will look like when done.

What business is the client in?

Default Vickers Replica

I have done the measure up on fitting double bogies to a un-lengthened hull Colin, you can run double bogies on an un-extended carrier hull, you just need to remount the cross tube. I had double bogies on my Vickers replica before the project was abandoned. Can still have track warping for a little additional fabrication. I gave up on the Vickers replica due to the poor state of the hull I was working with....it was not worth repairing.

Default Fab work

Hi Colin..
Out of curiosity,are you a machinist or a tool and die maker..??You certainly do good work and the only guy that I have met with skills like yours ,an absolute wizzard with metal or anything technical at all..gunsmith..watch maker..welder..machinist..and an MLU member and good friend ,Greg Anderson...
Had 200 Acres to play with all his toys..that he rebuilt..painted and restored..by himself..Jeeps..a couple ..old cars..old trucks..
Full machine shop and 6 bay storage garage..loved the tools..
His restorations looked like they just rolled out of the factory..


And what did Greg do for a living...????
Lawyer....amazing...!!!!
