the tank has a weird shape to it. so what i did was buy some 4 inch pvc piping,cut in half and added 90mm to the center part
450mm long x 210mm wide and 112mm high
i figure i show you what i have to do to build this part

Industrial scale styrene tube!!! We like Bet it was cheaper than the hobby stuff
This is such a joy to watch Joe - it has to be every scratcherists dream to be able to do something like this on such a large scale - I'm hoping to move house soon (subject to normal delays ) in which case I get a model room - then it will be 1/16 armour projects for me. in the meantime this is doing an grand job of keeping me going!

woe ! there was alot of sanding, throw some primer on it so i can see it better
the a couple of different ways i can continue on the tank. basically you can do any mods to it you want.
i think going with the fenders, hoses and a pump box
