do any other members create large scale scratchbuilt afvs, I have completed quite a few including a whippet tank, bren carrier and crusader tank. One thing i do struggle with is the lack of good plans of tanks and amoured vehicles, can anyone help or direct me to a web site with good clear drawings from which to work.

thanks tankone

Barrie,
By 'large scale' I assume you are referring to 1/15,1/16th scale ?.
In regards to plans - if you could be more specific about what vehicles interest you then I'm sure the ever helpful members will be able to provide links and or drawings for your needs.
Often you have to make do with 1/35 plans and just enlarge as required.
Heres a link to another large scale modellers site

Best of luck with your future projects

tahnks casper for your quick reply, by large scale I am talking 1/8thor bigger, I just love to make large scale models, one of my tanks is over two feet long built entirely from plastic card and evergreen rod, I guess I may have to settle for small scale plans and blow them up, as I have access to a photocopier this is not a problem, sometimes I have evn had to draw my own plans from reference photos. I will be uploading a few photos of my largest tank the British Matildaas soon as I can check out the member photos for my bren guncarrier and whippet tank, thanks for your help best regards Barrie

Heres one site that has a good selection of plans

mostly Soviet but a smattering of other nations.

As mentioned just let the members know what type of vehicle you are looking for (WWI/WWII/US/Soviet/Commonwealth etc) and you'll soon be flooded with links and info.

thank you once more for your very quick reply and help, I have tried the link but it has been moved, all the best sites seem to do that. As for what I am looking for mostly british armour and trucks, but anything which is quirky or unusual or what you would class as a one of type machine, I like the old style tanks with plenty of rivit detail. If anybody else is out there with some drawings of old ww1 tanks or something strange and a tpye of afv which were not made in great numbers I would love to here from you.
once again it was a great surprise to hear from you casper so far away yet ever so close on the net, thanks tank one

Hi Barrie,

sorry, no AFV, but working on the plans of a FlaK 88 approx. 1/10 scale.
I hope to finish in a month or so.
If you are interested...

George

what can I say but yes, anything which would be a challenge would be great, I have quite a few drawings which I have obtained from various sources, ie the net books and other model makers, if there is anything subject you want information on please let me know I look forward to seeing your plans, many thanks Tank one ---Barrie
