Right then, I suppose I ought to post a pic of my intended build! (Shamelessly scanned from the excellent Tankograd book on the Leopard 1 "Later Years"...) It's a shop tractor, basically a decent runner pulled from the scrapline of Leos, Gepards, and Marders scrapped in the early '90s when a sudden attack of peace broke out in the Cold War. Aside from removing the gun and tools the only major change was the addition of a beam to support the semi-permanent tow-bar mounted at the rear. I'll be using an Italeri kit (once I dig it out of storage, hence no "box" pic today), and doing a ton of corrective surgery to bring it up to date before "tractorizing" it. Tracks will be the Meng indy-links even though my previous use of them showed the connectors to be a tad fragile.




@Bob, those wheels are so typically extreme! Thought abouty making one ring & resin-casting the rest? Or is sanity no longer your thing? Can't wait to see the build unfold...

Bob, I'm an ACAD driver myself, so have limited experience with other software. Blender and Sketchup are the popular freebees, but I find Blender has a user-belligerent user interface! Looks like Autodesk is killing off 123D, but I've heard good-ish things about FreeCAD. Sorry I can't be more helpful...

Still can't get the enlist to show.
