Scratch built T1E1 mine exploder

I scratch build this around 2002 in 1/35 scale. It is totally articulated and even the discs turn and move up and down on the shaft for when its on uneven ground.

NIce. Very neat clean work. Impressive :+1:

I just had to look online to see what it went on … even more impressed now, it was big in real life and that scratch building is spot on.

Very nice work indeed.

Thank you for the compliment and the picture. I guess I should have have done it to make it clear to everyone to what tank it was mounted to.

Very impressive work, Ralph. Just when you’re done scratch-building, 3D printed model gets released:

Very impressive. Kudos for scratch building

Hi James_ Lee

Thank you very much for the compliment. It took me quite a few hours to scratch build it.

Yes that’s true and it’s happened so many times in the past when someone scratch built a vehicle that was not available in plastic and a manufacture decided to build it into plastic.
