August TOTM submission, now voting thread.

Post by Son of a gun-ner »

Hello TOTM fans.

Here's another chance to dust off those shelf queens and show us what you've got.
Although this is the TANK Of The Month, we accept all and any Armoured Fighting Vehicles, including soft armoured vehicles like trucks etc, just so long as they are military and Radio Controlled.
All it takes is a few pictures or videos of ONE of your Military Vehicles, or a combination of the two visual formats up to a total of 8.
The TOTM is open for anyone to enter, with the only exception being last month's TOTM Winner.
You have the usual seven days to enter, so please don't delay and miss out.

We look forward to seeing what you have.

This month's dedicated chat thread can be found here.

NUMBER 2

Here's my Andrew's design sdkfz222. Bit of a last minute entry so please excuse the photos as I wasn't planning on it. The motor/gearbox has been worked on and upgraded as the standard unit wouldn't even move it :( it has 4 wheel drive and steering, fitted with a 60 amp Quicrun esc and it also has a dasmikro sound unit installed, built, painted and pics by me :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

My Desert Panzer IV. Built from the older Heng Long PzIV DAK offering and the new Taigen Upper and Turret. Suspension was swapped out and only the HL metal tracks were left of the original running gear. Research, Build, Paint and Markings are all mine. Always wanted one of these and it would look splendid with Lee's 222. ;o)
