I picked this up on a recent visit to the Tank Museum at Bovington.

They are great fun to build and for those of you that have never seen these before they generally consist of 2 sheets of etch. The parts are secured together with tabs that are twisted and folded.

Way to go Dave! Cool

I love these Metal Earth thingies (even though I haven't got any yet!) they just seem so well thought out to put together! That tank hull seems to come together perfectly.
I'd love to get the Martian Rover one some day!Drool

That looks great and you have done a really good job with the folds. If this is anything like the t34 then the fun should start with the road wheels. LOL

These kits have amazing detail for the size.

I made the metal earth t34 and x-wing last year.

I am not sure if I uploaded photos or not?

I am currently building the himeji castle for my girl friend but its Cursing Cursing Cursing Cursing to build!
Finished 3D Printer, RB7, Hummer, Skyrider drone & Combat tank collection

Thanks all BigGrin

They are fantastic little things, they can be really tricky especially when it comes to making bends but I,have one of those PE bending tools with the rollers to help with that BigGrin
