HOWTO build a 2.5 scale Sherman tank


Glyn sends us these "how-to videos on building a scale model Sherman tank, you can sit in and drive around. It can even fire paint ball shells or if your local firearms rules prevent that infra red lasers! Simple but effective engineering, explained so others can build their own tanks."

Pt 1: Intro, body shell, suspension
Pt 2: Tracks
Pt 3: Engine, Controls, Weapons
Pt 4: Transmission (ingenious solution and key to the simplicity)

(Thanks, Glyn!)
