Model Tank
You have got to see this thing, it is fantastic!! Entirely hand built from wood. Truly worth the time to watch.

I don't know what to say. I guess I should pick my jaw of the floor first.
Thats probably the best model I have ever seen before.
Thanks for sharing that with us.

Holy Crap indeed.
That is the most amazing scratchbuilt model of a tank and it's transporter I've ever seen.
It's humbling to think that he took 5 years to build that model by hand while I stumble along building pre-molded kits and AM items.
For hand made models, the amount of detail was incredible.
I'd love to see it in real life.

Yeah, I could do better....
Actually, no, I can't back that up at all! :-)
3500 hand made parts! I won't complain about removing the odd bit of flash from now on!

This was shown some time ago. Still excellent though. Something one could admire over and over.

Ah yes, I remember that on the "Antiques Roadshow" some years ago, even now its still a mind-blowing piece of work, and when you listen and hear he didnt have more than basic tools to do it with, its even more amazing.

Yes I just about remember this show.
My father used to use an electric drill to turn wood - must be a trait of the 'old school of apprenticeships!!' when craftsmen were proper craftsmen.
Thats an amazing piece of work - which would be very justly displayed in Bovington IMO.

Gentlemen,
We have just seen a TRUE Masterpiece! I think this is one of the truest expressions of modelling. Love of the subject, Dedication to detail and Vision to of the subject... I am truly humbled and amazed by such amazing craftsmanship! This should be in either Bovington or the Imperial War Museum in London. Thanks for sharing this Masterpiece!
