Janval Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Whoa, that's astonishing, really! I've only just begun doing some scratchbuilding myself, I have big plans but I reckon that your level of skill is many many hours away The level of detail is just unreal!

tabmodels Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thank you Jan! I'm relatively new to this hobby too but one thing I've learned is getting the basics down first and follow up with the detail, start small and work up to bigger more complex builds, the more you build, the more experience you'll gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabmodels Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 A slightly different version of this build featuring wide wheels and flail head with roller bar and rubber skirt instead of skids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 She looks very purposeful on those big boots, they would suit a 6pot conversion well too. Stunning work again ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
