I will try my utmost to be there, and if Bogeyman is up for it we may both turn up.

I have the Bulldog all up and running with hidden battle system, it's been tested in Bogeyman's lounge so it should be good to go. The Chieftain ARV is all done, and the M8E2 is complete too.

I am still working on the Kodiak, the mechanics of the excavator are all working...but I am still figuring out how to run and control all of the motors. Haven't even started on the dozer blade as I got distracted this week building my 3D printer (which now works perfectly).

Hopefully see you guys on 15th. :clap:

The link is back up the thread somewhere. I am also going to have to cry off getting to Manchester, I am on a mission to get this printer working as it should. Something weird is going on as the first prints I did were flawless, but since I fitted a whole new extruder, replaced all of the ptfe feed pipe, used a different filament...the print isn't completing as it used to. Its a total mystery to me but I can't rest until I figure out what it is?
