Hello and welcome. For measurement reference you've got some good options.
First, you can buy a 1/35 or 1/48 plastic model, measure the various parts, and scale them up. Second, you can buy very inexpensive 2d scale drawings from George Bradford http://www.geocities.com/firefly1002000/1-48dwgs.html If you into 3d data models, you can buy pre-made tank data. Here's a $15 low poly count Tiger 1 model, for example: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/german-tiger-tank-3d-model/315745 - Doug -----Original Message----- From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto:rctankcom...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Explosive Racing Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 9:44 AM To: R/C Tank Combat Subject: [TANKS] Tank Building Help Hello Everyone. I've been interested in building a tank this this past summer, and I think I am going to start building as soon as I can. But, I need some help. I've been reading alot on the rctankcombat.com website, and I think I am going to build a Tiger Tank I. Now, I don't have any sort of plans for this tank or anything, but I am currently building a 3-D model on the computer. But, I don't know any of the rough dimensions for this tank. The only dimension I have read somewhere was that the hull was 3 feet long. So, if we could go from there, what would the other dimensions be? >From those dimensions, I'm going to build some simple "Bicycle Chain Track" for the tracks. All other things will come after I get dimensions so I can draw it up, and see what I can come up with. Any help with dimensions and measurements would be appreciated, Thanks, Explosive Racing --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
