MENG 1/35 Chinese ZTQ 15 light tank with cage armour
So tank is now finished the cages are a different matter once I’ve removed all the filaments from the 3-D printed frames they all distorted and went into trapezoidal shapes instead of remaining square which made the job a whole lot more difficult and I’m afraid of my cages look like they’ve been...- Bigfoot57

Hello I’m back sorry for extreme delay but I have been working on other projects and the thought of having to do tracks again was too much so I gave it a break anyway I’ve now done them. I must say that Mengs way of linking them together is superb. The only problem is they fall apart when you...- Bigfoot57

Small update just because the temperature has gone through the roof again making it too hot to do any modelling so I did this last night which was added the top to the bottom of the tank and installed some sort of driving vision system and as the interior of the tank is bare, I haven’t painted...- Bigfoot57

Here is my next build.

Adding the Turret and Machine gun this again will illustrate the amount of filler that was required as the turret also didn’t fit properly and I had to cut one of the lugs off at the bottom of it to actually get it to fit into the ring cause the ring was too small for the turret to accept Up to...- Bigfoot57
