It looks great so far, Derek. Is it 1/6th scale ?
An M113 is one of those vehicles that the hobby absolutely needs. Nice choice. My only problem with it is that it will bring guys like John more ammo to shoot at me. >> I keep joking with the wife that I have bought enough parts to build an entire tank from what I didn't use on the Sturmtiger. I remember Frank saying that he had five unbuilt tanks laying around his shop. I know I have at least one ! - Doug From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Derek Engelhaupt Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 4:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TANKS] Re: New supply vehicle on the horizon For those who can't see embedded images: http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/M113A3/IM000001.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/M113A3/IM000002.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/M113A3/IM000003.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/M113A3/IM000004.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/M113A3/IM000005.jpg Derek T065 On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 3:26 PM, Derek Engelhaupt <[email protected]> wrote: Hey all, Since the list has been fairly quiet the last couple of days I thought I'd share my build in progress. It is of course an M113A3 to be used as a supply vehicle or possibly I will construct two tops, one with a turret and one without. I'll have to see how well it turns out before making that decision. Been working on it off and on for the last 3 weeks. I keep joking with the wife that I have bought enough parts to build an entire tank from what I didn't use on the Sturmtiger. Well, I'm kinda proving that point. Only had to buy the drive sprockets and a few nuts and bolts at this point. Right now the wheels are my biggest sticking point. I need them to be 4" x 1/2" to fit the tracks. The wheels I have are just much to wide and I've already ruined a couple of them trying to modify them to fit. I guess at this point I may just have to make some out of 1/2" ply and say the heck with it. I am planning on making the ramp in the rear fully functional. Enjoy!
