Another masterpiece.
There is an A7V in Australia.
We Aussies are good at pinching, I mean acquiring things

gorby
Thanks mates. 🙂
Wim: I wasn't impressed with the Gasoline range either and certainly not impressed with the prices. Mine cost probably 1/3 of what that kit cost and I enormously enjoyed the built – probably more so than any kit I've ever done.

Wilky: At least the Aussies had the sense to save one – I'm glad they did.

wilky
We have the only original 262 also

Rui S
Beautifully amazing 👍
Umbeliveble scratch work.
Not my scale but I'M without words. Incredible

gorby
Thanks Rui. Coming from one of the best armour modellers on here, that means a lot. 🙂

Angel Yovtshev
Amazing, Gorby!
Hat off to you!

gorby
Thanks Angel. 🙂
Not anywhere near your league, just the first steps.😉

Alec K
Holy s#*t Gorby. This is AmazIng! I am about halfway done reading the brexit thread and... the rivets, THE RIVETS!!! Very educational, and definitely very entertaining. Not surprised you left this boring lot for the "others"😉 😄. I am starting a scratchbuilding project myself, but it will be of kinder garden variety compared to your undertaking. Cheers 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Wow, impressive work Gorby. The build log on Brexit is awesome. I'm going to use that rivet idea for sure! Oh and I did get the Kryten reference. I saw an episode filmed!

gorby
Thanks very much mates!😉
The rivets were far from the most enjoyable part of the build but these early tanks would look naked without them. I'll look forward to your scratch-build Alec, no doubt it will be astounding.

Rui S
Thank you for your nice words gorbygould, but I think they're a bit exaggerated. I've still a lot to learn with Mates here, including with you 🙂

gorby
With forums like this, there is always something new to learn - if you want to. 🙂

Rui S
Yes, I agree 🙂 Wise words

Neuling
Impressive work!

gorby
Thanks very much Neuling. 🙂

Scott Dutton
Beautiful work, just finished one in 35th but doesn't compare well done

Bart Goesaert
beautiful work.. only thing that comes to mind is the floating of the tank on the barbwire... but very, very nice build and groundwork...

Tim Heimer
Nice work!

gorby
Thanks very much mates. 🙂
Scott: I was well impressed with your build and I referred to your photos to help with mine, so thanks.
Bart: Yes that bugs me as well. I did put a load of lead inside the tank, but it isn't heavy enough to weigh it down sufficiently. I'm going with the experimental super extra heavy-duty barbed wire excuse.😉

Bart Goesaert
add some treeroot underneeth?

gorby
Good idea.

Scott Dutton
If need any more photos let me know, colleague just sent some from his museum visit of the original wh9ch he is happy I can pass on

gorby
Thanks for the offer Scott but I've mentally moved on to my new project. 🙂
My workroom needs to be stripped and rebuild before that can start though. 🙁

bughunter
Tanks are not my metier, but this 100% scratched model is really impressive 😳 Very nice ideas in build report, and even the tracks are scratched 👍

gorby
Thanks very much Frank, your praise has made my day! 🙂
Up until this, tanks were of little interest to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this build, probably more than any model I've ever done. It kept my brain working right to the end. I'm not saying that there will be no more aircraft from me, but there will certainly be more AFV in my near future. 👍

Jean-Michel Tilquin
Wow! I missed this one, but the view from the trend is impressive, so real!

gorby
Thanks very much Jean-Michel. I'm glad you like it. 🙂

Spanjaard
What a great job!!!! I knew I was missing some great builds in those months that I was out of SCM

Spanjaard
Superb job mate

gorby
Thanks very much Spanjaard!

Dale Marston
Very Nice.

gorby
Thanks Dale 👍

CaptGPF
Wow! The only thing that is missing are terrified soldiers running for their lives!

Pietro De Angelis
Stunning job, congrats!

gorby
Thanks Capt & Pietro.
I would have loved to add some figures Capt, but certainly at the time this was built there were no WWI British troops available in 1/48.

Bohrmann
Well done! Again, hats off to your scratch building skills Too bad there are no pictures of the building process.

gorby
Thanks Bohrmann. 👍
I did do a full build report...on another site, a site which has now unfortunately died. It was only yesterday I removed the dead link to the report - I don't know if that pushed this post to the top of the feed, I though that just happened when you added more photos.
Thanks all for your comments and likes. 🙂

Kesa Tiho
Breathtaking. Simply breathtaking

gorby
Thanks Kesa. This was my first full scratch build - I only built it because there wasn't many WWI vehicles or tanks in 1/48 at the time. It sort of got me hooked on scratch building. 🙂

Kesa Tiho
Well man good for you. I assume scrach building is pretty hard so you've definitely outdone yourself. And with all the small details i assume you've got a pretty steady hand for a man your age (no offence ofcourse)

gorby
It's easier that you think Kesa, although it probably best if you start with adding small bits on kits.

Guy Rump
Excellent job! congrats! 👍

Jan Peters
