I just got them off ebay. Now I'm waiting for bearings for the gearboxes.

love the work on the armour, will it all be available on shapeways at somepoint?
I hugely admire anyone that can 'just create' this stuff from scratch, I am very much a buy kit and add it modeller!!

I am surprised the aftermarket kit people aren't creating more for 1/16th Chally.

Keep up interesting and good work
