2005/05/16 - RE: [TANKS] - general drawings (a thought) (paul needham)

Hey Chris If everything was handed to you on a silver platter would you appreciate it ? I found it more rewarding scaling up a tank model, drawing it up then searching for each part or making that part to fit the scale

If your in a hurry to build a tank buy some Lego : ) Ive been working on mine almost two years now and I think that when you search for parts and find them its like your a big kid on Christmas day : ) and to quote Oddball "Whats with all the negative waves man?" I think everyone here is friendly enough

Helpful Tips , Friendly advice , where to get stuff ,How to do stuff Geeeze I'm slow I should have my tank done by now lol anyway thats my two bits

I was wondering if the thought about doing a general set of drawings (front, rear, top, bottom and sides) and measurements for some of the most common (and others to follow of coarse) like the Tiger, Panther, Sherman (and so on) and then give measurements for the specific scale? I thought this might help some people who would like to try to build a tank (combat or not) that may have trouble with the basics of making tank plans.

from there, maybe some drawings as to how some of the road wheels are put together (and what they used).

Basically, make this "Tank" group a bit more friendlier (not like it can get much friendly that creating a Tank Dating Game) and aid in some assistance in getting one started.

Kinda like a Chilton's manual of the basic tank bodies, only they! drawings would be accessible to anyone how would like to try their hand at building one.
