I have been working on building a 1/6 scale Shinhoto Chi Ha for some time
now, however early on into my project I have encountered some difficulties.
I have been working with soft cold rolled metal, cutting torches, and a
saw. The metal is roughly 2mm thick, and has a tendency to warp when it is

Hello all,
I have been planning to build a Japanese Type 97 Chi Ha Kai (and Type 95 Ha
Go) for a long time now, and I am extremely happy that this project will
finally be launched. First however, I have never built anything like this
before (they will be made of metal) so I have decided to build s

Slight problem with that Idea. My welder does not have any equipment to use

Hi all,
I'm new to this hobby but I have experience in other similar ones (rc
planes mainly). I would like to build one of these tanks and I have read a
lot of the articles on how to build them, including the ones on the rc tank
combat website. I have one complication however, My only option for
