    Any idea when a entry topic will be created ?

    A small update, I built the other side of the Turret, I will try to have mostly complete instructions after this weekend. Lego Renault Ft-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Lego Renault Ft-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr

    The motor functions properly, it will turn on when power is applied.I just need to solder the 2 wires together.

    here are the pictures of the board 47154 motor by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr 47154 motor by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr

    This motor stopped working after a while and I opened up the casing and the circuit board was cracked in half, if I were to remove the circuit board completely would that damage the motor? I will upload a pic of the board later today.

    I fixed the frontal portion of the turret by sloping it back. Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr

    Building a RC tumbler ?
  8. Tommy Styrvoky
    I thought about that because of its similar shape, but those white plates are from the ISD.

    Quite a bit of the large pannels are from the 6211-1 imperial star destroyer

    I disassembled the model into sub assemblies for taking reference photos for making instructions and I found out that this model could be displayed as a cross-section version, it basically has all of the model except one of the side walls and tracks.

    I added the header/manifold assembly to the engine and I added tools to the exterior of the vehicle, all that is left is to fix the flaws I mentioned earlier or ones that I have yet to notice.

  12. Tommy Styrvoky
    ? do you mean the gap on the back?I might do some revisions to the turret roof and viewport.
  13. Tommy Styrvoky
    I did some work on the engine block, it still needs the header/manifold assembly to go on top of it, that and the tools are all that really remains to build for this model. Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Lego Renault FT-17 engine block by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr I might tweak the hoses/linkages on this side of the engine Lego Renault FT-17 engine block by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr

    Finally Le Tigre has a Tail, I think it turned out pretty well. It has some slight problems with weight, it can hold in the upwards position but it can fall (it is required to be hinged because on the real vehicle this is where to access the port for the crank starter) Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr the port for crank starting is visable now here are some flaws that I would like to fix before the model is complete (it's about 95% done right now) Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr The angles are incorrect and the drivers viewport should be at least 3 studs wide Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr The gap between the hatches.
  15. Tommy Styrvoky
    This looks interesting, I will have to try using this latter today on a T-35 tank.
  16. Tommy Styrvoky
    yeah that and the engine is missing, it's to prevent the tank from flipping over when going over a trench.
  17. Tommy Styrvoky
    I applied the decals to the model I also shortened the tail portion 1 stud. Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Lego Renault FT-17 by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr

    here's the decals for it, I decided to not do the emblem, but these decals are for the LE TIGRE, fall 1917 Lego Renaut FT-17 decals by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr original tank I'm hoping that the color will match the bricks, I used the CMYK numbers of the lego color, I am unable to print them right now but eventually I will.

    wwiisquadronpatches.com/Photos/NoseArt/NationalInsignia1918USArmyAirCorpsRoundel.jpg This is what I have in mind
  20. Tommy Styrvoky
    if the printer doesn't work well then I could always airbrush the colors for the French insignia on a piece of paper.
  21. Tommy Styrvoky
    I have a question about decals/markings, did you use waterside decals or paper that has been adhered to the vehicle ? Because I Might be making decals for my Ft-17, I won't be using waterside decals because they are a more perminate solution.
  22. Tommy Styrvoky
    If I do make decals for it it would probably be Le tigre and the French insignia .
  23. Tommy Styrvoky
    no, nothing really planned, I don't have any proper decal paper or a good printer.

    This model does seem very Hall of fame worthy The V-12 is a impressive feat, even in my Tiger I that's approximately twice the footprint of yours could have fit a V-12 but it took up too much space for other components, so it mounted a V-8. There are so many functions that make this model the best RC tiger model built out of bricks, the proportions are nearly perfect in every respect and that you could pack 9 motors into it. I think that I have learned from my Tiger build that a fixed scale (1/15) for all of my models makes it difficult for proportioning parts (like the road wheels). So I have some inspiration from this model that "bigger=better" isn't always true and I will be using some of the characteristics of this model in a King Tiger model in the future. Im still wondering about the motors too? 2 L motors for drive 2 micro motors for MG elevation and traverse 3 M motors for turret traverse, gun elevation/ depression, engine, Where are the other 2 motors used, a separate one for the opening engine bay ? also after seeing this model, I'm really excited to see what you have planned for the T29 and the M1 Abrams

    I built the hatch covers for the rear engine deck, the rear turret doors were revised . all thats left to build is the engine and the tail that prevents the vehicle from flipping when crossing trenches.
