Hello All [TANKS]

[MaCayn May <macayn.may-at-gmail.com>]

Hi Everyone,

                 My name is MaCayn and I’m a student living in Chicago. I’m interested in building a Tiger I tank, sadly apartment living leaves me with limited means of doing… anything. I’ve started modeling the frame using Autodesk Inventor. I have most of the angles worked out, but am having difficulty with the lengths of the frame, particularly the front and the angled sides. Does anyone who built one already still have their measurements? I’ve looked through a lot of the pictures and films and was curious how you manage to waterproof the hull to allow it to go through the mud and water without leaking in? Last question, what are the common ways of attaching the top portion of the hull to the bottom? I’m planning on making it out of metal so I won’t start any construction until I have modeled all of the parts. As I complete them, I’ll send them out. Thanks for the help. The machines you all have built are amazing!
