This is the fourth and final video In this short series showing the design and simple construction of a 1/6 Scale Wooden Bridge to provide a great feature for my large scale Armortek tanks to drive over.
In this video I paint the bridge, add some detailing and finally get to drive my tank over it.
Hope you enjoy.

Thoroughly enjoyed all those videos of your bridge build. I think if I had the time, space and money I would go for the classic Airfix Pontoon bridge and re-create those backyard battles from my youth... This particular build took me back to when my dad gave my brother and I our one and only holiday we had with him - Late 70's at Caister Holiday camp on the Norfolk coast, and in the camp was these remote control tanks which you put 10p in the slot and you got to drive an allotted vehicle for a period of time, no word of a lie, there was a bridge very similar to yours to guide you armour over - happy days. Looking forward to seeing this in the garden in situ and letting mother nature weather her up!
Thanks Martin...Thats why I built it...need to have some obstacles to put the Tiger and hopefully when finished the M26 through. I did post the plans and materials list in case anyone wanted to have a go at building it... I just dug the idea out from my memory bank and not sure where it came from but it worked out well. Hope you continue to follow me and in particular the M26 build..
Наш красавчик по мостику катается 👍😍🤩
Это блестящий способ описать это спасибо. Надеюсь, вы продолжите следить. Распаковка и сборка M26 начнется на следующей неделе. Хороших выходных и спасибо за поддержку на всем протяжении. That is a brilliant way to describe this thankyou. Hope you continue to follow. The M26 unboxing and build start next week. Have a great weekend and thank you for supporting all the way through.
Both the Bridge & Tank look great. Very cool.
Thank you so much for your continued positive comments and support. Hope you enjoy the M26 build, starting soon.
Take my hat off to you Tony, that is absolutely brilliant, job well done sir
Thanks Steve, your continued positive support is amazing. Hope you enjoy the M26 build coming soon. Have a great weekend.
@@tonys_workshop and to you and the family
I found your channel 2 weeks ago, I've watched all of your videos and have enjoyed them quite a lot. I live in the state of Iowa in the US. I started building models at the age of 5 years I will be 62 August of this year. I like the fact that you're as humble and appreciative of your viewers as it's refreshing and seems sincere. I'm looking forward to your next build. I'm currently working on a 1/16 M4A3E8 from AHHQ/Tacom. I also have their Tiger I early that I will be building next. Thank you for sharing your journey, it speaks greatly of your character.
Hi Michael and greetings from the UK. I am so glad that you found my channel and really appreciate your kind words. I love model building and have been building models and dioramas for years...The whole 1/6 scale is new to me, but loving the experience, especially with these full metal heavy tanks. I would have loved to build one of the Armortek M4 Shermans, but they sold out some time ago, that is why I am so excited about my build of the M26. I started this channel as I wanted to try and show how beginners and novice builders like me can complete these 1/6 scale kits without worrying about the after market enhancements and customising that advanced builders show on KZhead. The response has been amazing and somewhat humbling. Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting what I am trying to do. I hope you continue follow my next build. Have a great weekend.
@Tony's Workshop You're welcome and I will be watching your next build. I love the bridge you built. I have a back yard/garden close to the size of yours I could see myself turning it into a very large living diorama of a battlefield. I hope you have a good weekend as well!
Epic Tony, Bridge looks superb liking the smoke effects. A couple of buildings a wall or 2 a sign post be like the real thing. Looking forward to the Pershing unboxing.
Thanks Gary. I totally agree...and would love to expand this into a full diorama...another project:-) Have a great weekend.
The bridge really came to life in this episode and I can image a driver being just as careful lining up as you were.
Thanks Steve. First time over was a careful pass....I am really pleased how it turned out and how good the Tiger looks on it. Hope you tune into my next tank build starting next week. Have a great weekend.
You've got every right to be proud of that Tony, it looks great.
Thank you Russ. Hope you continue to follow my M26 Build starting soon. Have a great weekend.
@@tonys_workshop I'm looking forward to it Tony, you have a good weekend too buddy.
First thing i thought as soon as i saw the Tank on the Bridge, the Bridge looks small now. It appears i wasn't the only one to think that? However, the Bridge appears to be typical of constructions made to cross Canals or small Streams which just happens to be strong enough to bare the weight of the Tiger. The finished product looks great.
Thanks Mik. Yes, when I was building the bridge it seemed huge, but these tanks are mighty...Really appreciate your continued support. Have a great weekend.
@@tonys_workshop I get enjoyment from your content. While the Pershing might not feature on Tanks i'd consider buying your build will be the first one i've watched. I like your style of presentation and i find Tank builds {even the real full sized thing} interesting
Thanks Mik, that means a lot. Like you, the Pershing would not have been my first choice as I would have loved to build the M4 but Armortek stopped making these a while ago...When I saw they were producing the M26, and especially the way they have mastered the casting on the hull and turret....it was a no brainer for me... Hope I do not disappoint....have a great weekend.
I will be happy to upload the video soon. I thought it would be nice to have the natural weathering of the trees outdoors, but that kind of bridge doesn't actually exist, right? It was fun to see the addition of handrails, ladders, sandbags and decorations. 直ぐに動画をアップで私は嬉しいです。屋外での木の自然風化もいいと思ていましたが、そんな橋は実在しないですね？ 手摺や梯子そして土嚢と装飾が増えるのが見ていてたのしいです。
この橋は、当時のスタイルのつり橋のように見えるように意図されたものであり、存在しないと考えるのは正しい..私の想像の中にある.引き続き、温かいお言葉とご声援をよろしくお願いいたします。それは私にとって大きな意味があります。あなたがこの映画を気に入ってくれたことをうれしく思います. This bridge is only intended to look like a period style suspension bridge and you are correct in thinking it doesn't exist..only in my imagination. :-) Thank you for your continued kind words and support. It means a great thing to me. I am happy that you liked this film and hope you continue to follow my next build starting next week.
Very good !!!
Thank you.
Great Video Mate
Thanks Richard, much appreciated. Hope you continue to follow my videos...more up next week.
Very good 👍use the same stuff to do my fences (Golden Oak). Good to see 👀you supporting local craftspeople ,did think you had the barrel to high and was going to take out the truss 😂😂. Awaiting your next blog with eagerness 👍👍.
Thanks Steve...yep...it was close...nearly wrote the bridge off in the first pass. lol.. M26 unboxing will be uploaded over Easter..hope you continue to follow...
Great work on the bridge, Tony. Love the POV from behind the tank as it drives across the bridge, thanks for the creative camera angles they add a lot to your videos. Your content is getting better and better.
Thank you. I am glad it came out as well as I intended...Just wanted to add a little something to the driving. I have more planned when the weather improves...if the weather ever improves :-) Thank you for your continued support and hope you watch the M26 build starting next week. Have a great weekend.
Brilliant! Love the sandbags and those close-ups of it crossing the bridge are awesome! As always, great work Tony and thanks for sharing your work!
Thank you Erik. I am glad you enjoyed it...I thought the different camera angles and smoke would work well...Thinking about putting it up as an entry in next years Bafta short film category 😂 Thanks so much for your continued support, it means a great deal to me..Hope you can join me on the M26 build up very soon.. Have a great weekend.
Great quality job Tony. Whatever you make you do it very well. You just need somewhere in the garden for it to span now. Maybe a little stream leading to a pond? I wonder what the boss will say?
Hi John, Thank you...Oh she has been very clear on what I can do with my Bridge Lol 😆..
HI John, I hope you are well..long time no speak...is your club attending the Wings & wheels event at Northweald next weekend?
@@tonys_workshop Hi Tony Yes I will be going and the club will also be going but not as the West Essex truck enthusiasts but instead as the Moorhen Model Boat club. It’s the same people that run both but due to stupid club politics they won’t let me exhibit as I haven’t got a boat and I don’t belong to that arm of the club. I did offer to join and pay my £30 for the year but they said it was too late this year. If poss I would still like to maybe catch up with you somewhere there though. John
Hi Tony… another great video .. very impressed with your carpentry skills.. the bridge is great.. good luck with building the Pershing.. debated whether to mention the problem I had with torsion bars 🙈.. the axles go through the bogies ok BUT the problem is with the torsion rods seizing in the opposite ends where they lock into the bogey housing… I reckon they are cut to length with a guillotine which spreads the diameter of the rod… lots of filing to round off the end of the rod cured the problem.. please tell me to hush up with my problems if you want to progress unmolested or we maybe open a”tips and hints” channel just for you and me 🤷♂️.. Regards… Brian
Hi Brian, thank you...yes I enjoyed building the bridge and really pleased how the Tiger works with it. I had a similar problem with a similar solution on the Tiger torsion bars. Sound like you are really progressing. I am looking forward to a full weekend of tank building ...the missus has given me full permission lol..I think it's great that we can share ideas and experiences of this build..let's face it, none of us building the M26 have built one before, so any tips and hints are very much welcomed. I want to use my channel to help novice builders like me understand how to deal with some of the minor challenges that we encounter on the journey through the build and will highlight as much as I can while filming. Hopefully people reading comments and watching the films on here will find it helpful. Lets keep on 'Tanking'
Let's hope the Pershing fits, or you will need another one.
Lol 😆...
Hi Tony, watched all the vids to date,enjoyed every one, looking out for the next. My only worry is,given the Tigers colour scheme, should you have not built a very large sand pit? : )
Hi Gary, thank you for following and supporting....That had crossed my mind as well...perhaps a future project :-)
Bridge looks good. Where did you obtain the detail parts for the tank, and where did you get the markings for the tank. I received a tiger 1 kit from armortex yesterday 3/30 . It was a canceled order. I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks David. Great news on your Tiger..you were lucky to get one....So...1/6 scale barbed wire, Helmets, camo etc...all from Ebay. The figures are Dragon figures, but get these as used unboxed ones as they are cheaper. A company called Armorpax www.armorpax.net/ Contact Dave as he sells all the aftermarket accessories such as the MG Cupola and so much more...The MG34 is also from Dragon. For the markings, try these guys..it is where I got mine from: www.ebay.co.uk/str/peddinghausdecals Alternatively, I have found a great stencil guy who has made stencils for my M26...He does a lot of US 1/6 scale but may be able to help...Contact Paul from: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/noostadirect_dot_com Hope this helps and if you get stuck on the Tiger, please feel free to give me a shout. You are going to love the build. Have a great weekend.
❤😮
Thank you. Hope you tune in to my M26 build starting this weekend.
Nicely done Tony. Looks like you are having fun! I am making progress on theM26 but ran into a couple issues. One very minor thing is attaching the small side brackets that attach the two side panels together, the screws are bit short (M4 x 20). But the bigger issue is on the smaller of the two side panels, the three vertical screw holes are not threaded - just blank holes. I bought a M4 tap to fix that, and I hope it works. I did put a note on the M26 section on the forum for more details. Wondering if you ran into the same problem.
Hi Ray. Thank you. i Got stuck into the M26 build today and yes, I had the exact same problem. There is another M26 builder on here who also had the same problem. I am lucky that I have a tap set and got round this problem. Tap the holes with the M4 tap and this solves it. The bracket that holds the front and rear hull panels did not cause me a problem, I fixed them flat side to the inside. The only issue I had was that the casting on the front section of the hull had to be filed flat on the inside to allow the bracket to sit tight to the metal. I am really enjoying the build and now looking at prep, prime and painting the hull. Sounds like you are progressing well. If I encounter any other issues, I will let you know and please do the same...we are all learning this together. Have a great weekend.
@@tonys_workshop Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned on the forum regarding the bracket. If you look at the pictures, they show to install with the ridges against the hull. Probably does not make a difference, but the screws are too short mounting it like the pictures, so I just used longer screws. And yes, I already tapped the holes myself, and all is good there. Just starting the suspension arms today. Lots to go, no rush.
@@tonys_workshopTony, are you a user on the Armortek forum? It might be easier to share M26 build issues there, unless you prefer KZhead. Thanks.
@@tonys_workshop Tony, one more question for you on the M26. On the suspension arms, did you find that they were not all on the same horizontal plane using the default flat spots on the torsion bars? Mine were very close, but I just applied a bit of up or down pressure and they are very close, EXCEPT for the front multi-link one. That is off enough that may need the flats filled a bit to get it sitting in line with the others. I am assuming that it should be exactly in line with the others -maybe not?.One of the other users on the forum filed the flats on several torsion bars. Just wondering how it went with yours. Thanks
Hi Ray, yes I am, but rarely on there. It is easier to contact me via youtube, as I don't get notifications on new postings on the Forum.
Hi Tony, have loved watching this build mate, looking to undertake my own shortly. I was just wondering, is there any reason why you haven't built a early/mid war tiger to suit the Tunisian battle era? I was just under the impression all late tigers had zimmerit? And the north African saga was over in May '43. Just curious. Cheers, Tom.
Hi Tom and thanks for watching & commenting. No reason other than when I was building this, I kept changing my mind and was on the understanding that all late tigers were factory finished in Dunkelgelb. So, I decided to stick with that. At the time the only markings I could get hold off were used on my tank. I didn't want to cover up some of the fixings with zimmerit in case I ever needed to get to them. Turns out I don't, but too late now. The great thing about these kits you can finish them in what ever colour scheme you choose. Enjoy your build when you get started...it is so satisfying.
🐶🙂👍👋🏻
Thanks Mark, much appreciated.
Ugh i want an armourtek tank so bad but they are expensive. How do you paint them?
Hi and thank you for watching and commenting. They are expensive and it took me nearly 10 years to summon up the funds and courage to start this incredible hobby. Painting is in stages, part by part, each part being cleaned prepped, etched primed, primed and top coat painting..The painting takes a long time, but spread out across the build. I used canned aerosol paints and it worked out really well. Hope this helps answer your question and hope you tune into my next Tank build coming soon.
@@tonys_workshop Thanks. I will make sure to watch your next video!
@@tonys_workshop Also, how much was shipping? And the delivery time.
Hi, Depends..in the UK £150 shipping and as long as they have them in stock, next day delivery. Some buyers who live in the UK collect from Armortek to save the shipping cost. Hope this helps.
@@tonys_workshop Do they deliver to the us?
I hope you dont have any oopsy finger slips while driving the tank
I was a tad nervous when I first started driving over the bridge..not worried about the tank as if it did crash into the bridge it would have destroyed it :-)
