Scratchbuilt T-70, 1/6th scale, progress 10-08-03
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, August 10, 2003 6:49 AM
After spending the last few weeks casting track links for this monster I have finally finished enough links to complete one set of tracks. Managed to knock together a main gun as well from some Evergreen tubing and the body of a marker pen. At least now the beast looks like a tank.

Da Beast

Main gun


Nothing hard about scrathbuilding in the lagrer scales just, everthings takes longer and costs more and is serriously huge.

Thanks for looking.

Amazing! Keep it coming!
A 1/6 T-70 must be about the same size as a 1/16 Tiger II, no?

Actually J-Hulk my T-70 works out to about 16 inches wide x 14 inches tall by 32 inches long.(40cmx35cmx80cm ) Not a bad size for a two man tankette, I know of at least one Maus being built in 1/6th scale and heaps of Tigers! I'd need another bedroom for such beasties.

Thanks for looking,
Dan

Yikes! The 1/16 Tiger II is only 64 cm long, so ya got it beat by 16 cm!

And a 1/6 Maus??? Insanity! Ya could put a VW engine in that sucker!
I recently saw a half-built 1/16 Maus, and that was big enough!

Great work on the T-70.

So, ya gonna build an IS-II to give those Tigers a run for their money or what?
