Slowly ... First weather pass through on exterior.

I have decided to go the cut away route so I can display it best.

I've wanted to do something like this since I got the Tamiya large scale (1:25) Tiger-I for Christmas either '74 or 75.

You are an inspiration!

my vision

You mean X-RAY vision!
Earlier on it was hard for me to imagine where you were going with this... these pics really help me 'get it'!
Very well done.
Reminds me of the old days when they had anatomical models you could remove parts from to see different layers and physiological systems.
Awesome!

Starting to lay out track setup, going to be in the process of changing track.....

Closing in on done here.... Small stuff left... Took few days off from it lol.

When I see photos of a build like this I'm impressed, but what I really want is to crouch down and take it in from every angle, for like, an hour at least!
Thanks for posting the journey!

No worries.... When finally done I will take some better pics. I don't mind telling ya though getting the track to sit and stay just right was a real headache. I still have to detail it too

 

[sapper23]

Well I may do a few more things but am calling this one done for now. I feel like I accomplished alot of things done with this model. A true sort of learning type model display set up. More than just a tank so to say.

[BarleyBop]

Ambitious plan, well executed.

Not best at pics but ..

 

[BarleyBop]

If I expected everyone to have the best pics, I'd be visiting a photography forum!

Besides, the cut-aways make for some dramatic lighting of the interior in your overhead shots!

Cheers

Great build! I like the detail. The coolness factor is off the charts
