Thanks, I have the idea of the sponsons being the same basic design for all tanks so I will have the sponsons and turret patterns on the model as well as the others if i am able to make the other patterns. Inspired by the sponsons of the MKV thru MKVIII tanks.

you cant get far wrong when using classic looks! so all for the mark V look^^

Now I have to do the second set and then work on those shoes!

So, just got the second tread section together. Next will be the track sections or shoes. The same soldier that stood near the Malcador Char-1

This will give a better idea as to the length the model will be when done

Treads wide enough to squash a man!

cool! seems your work is rollin`

the scale looks like a heavy armor already...
i am really now looking forward to see your take on shoes and such things...

i keep my fingers crossed for more splendid scratchbuilt action^^

vik

It will likely be a combo of flats and roundels.

like the pic or link i posted earlier?

Sort of. More like the old fashioned landraider.

something like that?

Why yes, simiular to that section, I shaped flats shoes with the barrel outside, but all "flat" on the side attached to the tread segments.

well you know the drill...pics please^^

I must make the pieces in daylight, or under better light.
I will have more pics tomorrow.

ok, this will be something i look forward to most fondly^^

You will see it here first viewers of the loyal variety!

Although, I am going to use half rounds and a smaller I shape to add to the treads patterns.

Do you use treads like the one machinator has in his fellblades of renown thread?

Link: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/326420.page

Not quite the same, I will be making the treads more like what Vik posted above, round barrel attached between "I" shaped shoes.

Decided to NOT have the shoes grinding along the plates of the armor sides, so I put in some spacers first
[/img]

and here is another angle, bot section are done like this to space the treads off the sections.
[/img]

that's gonna mean a buttload of track pin rivet heads. have fun with that.

Well, I started with this to get the ball rolling
[/img]

And this as well.
[/img]

well this sure looks the part already! don´t really know why you did those stripes of plasticcard before but i guess: whatever it takes^^

seeing those shoes know i am eager to see the compartment and the turrets ...as i think the tracks are know almost selffinishing now^^

nice work mate!

vik

The strips leave space between the system and the shoes, imitating the wheels that should be inside the tracks. Oh so many l;ayers are to be added, a "clamp" piece as the tracks you showed will have. and "kleat" plates for the shoes.

Once done, I have already the belly plate cut for the main body.^^

All of this today while playing

so black adder? seems i have to grow a new thumb to hold it upwards as i am already holding up both thumbs up as of now^^

with "kleat" youm mean those claw-like thinks on tracks? to get them better through/over the ground?

for my own tank i speculate if i make a hollow body of the compartment out of cardboard or in fact a layered version of pink foam and then later plating it with cardboard...your thoughts? work is comeing very slow with my hands as i am mostly tiered and feeling messed up from a bad cold i am having... so expect a good picupdate not before i feel better^^ so your good chance to stay well ahead of the production race^^

Still not over that cold eh?

Yep, Black Adder indeed! Your looked good with the threads you had, my shoes look a tad "thin" to me, and I intend to bulid them up a bit and avoid that plain look of smooth track shoes so kleats there will be.

Looking forwards to you getting those pics up, but first take care care of that cold.

had a short lived pc network promblem a moment before and just in time pushed the right buttons to anser you it seems^^

well i know it would mean a shitoad of repetive work but you could always add a second layer to your shoes...same thing, just so that i would be thicker...

or like you stated add more profil to the treads by adding rivets or kleats. but the latter i think will also be very hard work...

that cold is anoying, but i now draw the antibiotcs weapon so the cold gets the exterminatus shown^^...and i do know all the negative side effects of that methode, but we have eaterholidays and three youngsters demanding action wouldn´t go well with a dad smashed down by illness...so the chemical mace it will be...

and about black adder again...too bad atkinson did that awful mr bean stuff... he should have done something similar to blackadder in its different installments...

Yeah, I favor the more textured approach for the shoes.

Kill the bug. I tend to try and sleep so the immune system takes it out. If you cease anti-biotics just because you are no longer feeling the bug, it means you just got there, but need another 36hrs of anti-biotics(i.e.) finish them all and not save for a "rainy day" as it happens here in the US so much making superbugs that eat the anti-biotic for breakfast.

Yeah, not a fan of Mr. Bean as much. Much preferred the Black Adder series as well as the Christmas Special. Also, Black Adder 4th season was partial inspiration of the Caiphas Cain novels.

found this posted here on dakka in the modelers help thread and after going to it and looking around, figured you might want to take a look yourself. this guy has some really nice stuff and as seen above is so very kind as to provide a size reference as well.
