Afternoon all
Richard from deepest Gloucestershire here. I'm new to the forum but could well get addicted. I don't own a vehicle myself (yet!) but used to own a lightweight Landie and a mate has a 101 dual fuel beastie. The reason for joining the forum though is that I'm working on a 1/6th scale CVRT Scorpion / Scimitar build at the moment and would be interested to hear from anyone with a CVRT. I'm still at the plans / research stage so if anyone knows where I can get a decent set of drawings I'd be grateful. Doesn't matter what scale I can re-scale them locally. I've got the Plan pack from the Tank Museum but although it's good on detail it doesn't include much in the way of drawings.
I'm a recent convert to the world of trackheads although I've been building scale model boats for over 30 years, the current boat project is a 1/96 scale HMS Vanguard, the Royal Navy's last battleship which will come in at a tad over nine feet long. She'll also be able to fire full broadsides from all eight main guns. I've decided to try and dry my feet out a bit hence the Scorpion project.
Professionally I've nothing to do with the armed services as many of you guys seem to be so I hope you'll excuse a mere civvy from butting in. I own a small canal boatyard in the city of Bath which keeps my hair grey and bank account empty. It does give me a fine stretch of water to run the models on though!
Looking forward to any chat on Scorpions
All the best
