Hello.

Once again I ask to excuse me for my bad English language.

On the Internet has seen such model:




Has wanted to repeat it.

The fighting vehicle case:





The chassis:





[hr]I continue to do the case:





Fodder part from Land Raider:



I continue to do the chassis. Traks from Leman Russ:





[hr]Has connected the case and the chassis.
Here that turns out:








I want to hear your responses about my work.

Dmitry.

Great start your plasticard work is looking awesome !

As for the tank its self its truly epic I may have to try to convert one now loving it.

I continue.

Here I represent a variant of manufacturing of fenders on this tank. Up to the end it is not finished yet. It would be desirable to hear your opinion.








Dmitry.

Very nice indeed - as with your other stuff, your detailing is excellent.

Excellent work.

I too like the level of detail you achieve. I can't wait for the finished result.

I continue to finish the tank case.

Has strengthened fenders - has made their more rigid. Has added rivets on the case.








Dmitry.

Stunning ! Can't wait to see it finished

You are very talented sir, welcome to Dakka!

Great work!

Your tank is coming along well good progress, the rivets look great.

Loving the look. I just wish that they made a tank with curved sides, so shots could fly off, not just penertrate all the time. call it the Dorm of the valkan

Subbed, this is coming along quite nicely.

Friends, many thanks for your responses.

Your positive estimation is for me good stimulus for work continuation.

Dmitry.

Good afternoon.

I want to show the creation beginning turret for this tank.
As an example used turret from German tank T-IV D.












Wanted to hear your opinion.

Dmitry.

Very nice

Looking good, but I've come to expect such quality from you. Can't wait to see this one and your damaged russ with a coat of paint on them.

That looks very cool.

Great scratch building!!! looking really nice

I really like the Panzer IV D turret! Your tanks are just Super!!! I cant wait to see the gun on!

Good afternoon.

Unfortunately, there is not enough free time.
However, there is time once again to think over a tank general view.

Has decided that this turret is a little great. There is no desire to repeat work on construction of a similar tower, therefore will take a tower from plastic model of tank T-IV (it a bit less in the sizes).

The form of a tower quite satisfies me.

However, now there was such question:

It seems to me that the exhaust system looks too big.

And still:

It seems to me that in the presence of a tower from T-IV it is necessary also to a stern to alter, that it was similar to this tank.

The stern with an exhaust system is more similar to tank T-VI "Tiger":





Whether it is necessary to alter a stern under T-IV?



How your opinion?

Dmitry.

Your positive estimation is for me good stimulus for work continuation.

The way you speak english is so cool.

Also, this is without a doubt the best scratch-built tank i've ever seen. Period. Your skills are astounding. Keep up the good work, or, I hope this positive estimation of your work is good stimulus for your work continuation (again, wow, cool).

Well, the Tiger I's exhaust system is the 2 central vertical columns, which is two mufflers protected by heat shields. The two assemblies on the outside of these are the air intake filters, and not technically part of the exhaust system.

TheBlueRedPanda , many thanks for an estimation of my work.

For me while it is difficult to speak English with use of technical terms. Therefore, I ask to excuse me for errors (I sometimes even wrongly insert Russian words into the text). If something in my texts not clearly - I ask to prompt me. I will correct.

Nowlan, all it is true.
Heat shields and filters for air clearing aren't obligatory. However, with them the tank stern looks more interesting.
Such form of shields and filters are characteristic for the early version of tank "Tiger".

Question such: whether it will be combined in my tank of a stern from "Tiger" and turret from T IV? Whether it is necessary to replace a stern? Or to replace turret?

Dmitry.

Would replace the turret for one that isn't so tall. The tank already has a large profile due to the size of the chassis. The extra height from the turret only makes this problem worse. I think something just a little bit shorter would be better.

I agree that the tank has turned out high. But it is quite natural - Leman Mk II more powerful tank, than Leman Russ. But it not such big as Maharius.

Flat turret will look bad, in my opinion, on this big tank. And turret from "Tiger" not соответстсвует Warhammer.

It is possible to try to place on each side sponsons or to suspend guns. Then the tank height will be not so is appreciable.

How your opinion?

Dmitry.

The taller turret just means you can fit a bigger gun (or guns!?!) - I quite like the look at the moment - anything too much smaller will look out of scale.

I like the size of the turret and wouldn't change it. I also like the look of the vertical exhausts with heat shields. This is an amazing build so far.

Dmitry, your work is brilliant. Your English is much better than most peoples Russian so don't worry! As for things like exhausts and turrets, don't worry if they look too big. Warhammer works on the scale of things being wrong and outrageous! Therefore, try sticking the turret from an old KV2 and see waht that looks like. Good stuff - keep it up.

Brilliant scratchbuild how exactly are you doing the rivets tiny rod and discipline I presume?

I like the exhausts the way it is, and the turret should be a little lower. when you add everything that go top of the turret,it will be very tall. And I would like to know to how your making the rivets too?? Your tanks are super!!
