Many of you would be aware of Dave's brilliant work over at scaledtanks.com. The other day I only just discovered his EXCELLENT videos on youtube detailing every little step of building his 2/5 scale M60 Patton. The scale is obviously a lot larger than our tanks, but I have watched about half the video's now (there's about 60 ~8 minute videos) and it seems most of the construction techniques apply equally to our smaller tanks, just do them at a smaller scale.
 
You will also hopefully pick up lots of little workshop tips on how to do various things, I know I have.
 
I highly recommend you check out his videos, here is his user page:
 
There are several video's on there of his Sherman build, but many more and much more detailed ones of the M60 Patton process.

A very nice set of video's

Dave Manson has obviously taken the "do-it-yourself"
approach. This means some nice workable solutions,
that are pretty cheap. (Much like mighty FUBAR)

Thanks for posting this link Ben.

Didn't Dave stop posting his videos on Youtube and start posting them only for download at scaledtanks.com?
I seem to remember him saying something about it, but I'm not a member of their forum any more:( (I didn't post for more than a month)
