This thread seems to have got in a bit of a muddle. To straighten it out I'd like to say Hi Ian! and welcome to the group. There are as you say a number of tankers in the UK, of whom I'm the nearest (in Surrey) and then we have a couple in the Manchester/Stoke area, some more in Chelmsford, and various others still building.
As you will already have gathered, this is very much a do-it-yourself hobby and your tank if/when you build it will be very much a one-off. I suppose the best advice is to start with something simple like an artillery piece and work up to a tank with rotating turret, but since no-one in the history of the universe has done that I'm sure you'll want to start with a tank too. Tiger I is a good choice as it is big (lots of space for the motor etc) and we don't have one in the UK. Some basics: unless you have a shed full of motors, paintball markers, and rc gear it will probably cost you at least £600 to build this tank, and take 2 years to finish it (or 1 year if your shed also contains bench saws, lathes, etc etc). You need a car to transport it around. There's a lot of good advice out there,and we're keen to get new members. Hope that helps.
