discussion WW1 GB...Takom 1/16 FT17 avec un nouveau chapeau???

[Marty]

Hello folks....haven't posted any actual builds since I joined but I can't resist the allure of a group build and with so many joining in and a relatively long time scale....still won't finish on time though:flushed:...I thought it was time to at least give it a go....only problem was what to build as i had nothing suitable in the stash except this.......

It's a fantastic kit but the rigging scares the bejasus out of me so it'll stay on the shelf for a while!!!.....fortunately I was looking for something else and I came across a suitable candidate which I totally forgot that I had....View attachment 310612
Might as well go large with this build:tongue-out3: hope it will be interesting and I'll start putting up some progress shots a sap.....will be starting small ?...wheels etc to get a feel for the scale then the challenging bit....the "new hat"......I'm going to have a go at converting it to the radio/command version with the fixed superstructure in place of the turret....

The whole thing may prove that be too much as my build rate is a few notches slower than snails pace but I look forward to giving it a go anyway.....cheers to Brad for setting the build up and I look forward to seeing the other builds progress
Cheers for now.....Marty

Marty the FT is a brilliant choice :thumb2: building a TSF version would really set it apart

Nice choice Marty:thumb2:, joining the rest and looking on with interest to see how you build the command version with all those rivets.:smiling:

When I saw the Caudron I thought YES. I know it's daunting, but I'd love to see it built.
