[WWI] Renault tank restoration

[Andy Bannister]

No, no, no... 72 people on the real machine vs me on the 1/72nd version.
Viewed from 12 inches (60 feet) away on a drizzly day at high noon with 10%
white paint added. Build speed should be about the same, wind velocity
notwithstanding...

NO !  Then you have 1/1 scale hands all trying to turn the same 1/72 scale
nut at the same time!

Only works if Shane is there to crack a whip on them and to snarl orders.

Well, if there were 72 people in the team then surely I should be able to
build a 1/72nd scale model at the same pace...?? ;-)

Not to mention it's probably(I didn't read anything there, just looked at
the latest pics) a team of people doing the restoration, or better still, a
team that's getting paid real money by the hour.
