I have been following many of the build threads. Awesome work. What material would be used in scaling the chassis and top. I see plasitc sheets ,types of fillers etc. Which are the best to use as for fabricating parts. Does anyone do resin castings or can you order a custom part with drawings. I use ACAD and inventor and can draw out designs in 2 and3D and would like a fellow modeller that is a machinist to fabricate these items. Some of my skills from Scale RC aircraft comes into play. But definately need more information on Scaling the hell out of my tanks.

Any favorite books on this type of work. I have some on scale amour modeling, Weathering , etc.

Going Metal a plus over plastic. Whats the downfall?

Got a HL M41 and I'm getting ready to rip it apart and get it up to scale, Get the new electronics in it, and have a viable machine for battle.


Thanks for any thoughts

Bill
