Hello Scotaidh I must have felt a disturbance in the force, It has been an age since I looked on the site, yet tonight a few hours after you post, here I am. I did start work on that recent idea. 100% scratch build. I successfully cut the top of my finger of with a mini circular saw while doing it. ...

Re: Super Leopard Mk-XI Grav Tank
What a beautiful and clean design. Very nice, though I spotted the AT-AT face parts as vents, I felt the whole thing seemed completley orginal. Nice work Blappy
Happy New Year

Hi Dr Yo
Hmm, I have something thats been a long time sat on the back burner. It hovers, but is more patrol craft than Tank. We shall see what this year brings.
Have a good 2018.

Happy Christmas Dr Yo
Nice to see this old Forum is alive again.
I have been a missing member from this site for a long time. Life is to busy, I havn't picked up a paint brush for 1/4 year.
Maybe this should be my New Year resoloution?

Masao I like the thought your putting into your design. I agree ( and I've seen hovercraft demonstrating the same movement you describe) that a HT can turn on its axis while maintaining the same direction of travel. It would need a recoiless weapon though to overcome the effects of firing perpendic...

Hi Blappy I'm reading about Zero Point energy right now. All good stuff even if its still out of reach. I wonder about No moving parts ?

Hi all, You will see this is still very much a work in progress, lots of sanding and filling to be done but the body is pretty much done regarding its overal shape. The underneath still requres some more grills and thrusters as do the wing tips and rear of the engine block. blending of joints and ad...

Cenebar Please do enter- the more the merry. You point about altitude is good too. the boundary between Helicopter type vehicle and tank type vehicle become increasingly blurred when one talks about it's operational range and height.

Hi Blappy Looks very plausable due to its simplicity, and no chance of gain saying where the hull comes from as its going to be made bespoke. Will it have crew items added to the outside ( tools, crew hand grips, stowage racks for tarps) or is everything under armour to keep its stream line / stealt...
