Good Morning,
Louis does Freakish Armor with sinister verve and exacting engineering. The results are always a Barn Burner Crowd Pleaser.

Thanks! I have not decided yet what will be the next model. I am actually thinking of building an RC boat for a change.

I will never be a Major League Baseball player, not a concert pianist, nor fly a rocket ship to Mars. Nonetheless, I will not let these matters crush my fragile ego. :D I will never have the skill to even approach Louis's work. Nonetheless, I will not let this matter crush my fragile ego nor keep me from my modest efforts. ;D

Rather, I will celebrate Louis's remarkable work with breathless wonder. What a pleasure to have watched this build. Standing :clap:

Thank you Her Dr. Professor and Meter Rat for your feedback.

Here is a short demo video of the Model. I could operate it in a dirt pit somewhere but i do not feel like cleaning it up after...sorry.

Louis another super realistic build. This one a bit more sinister and with that apocalyptic style turret it's really impressive :thumbup: If a boat build is next in the que hope we will be able to watch that one too!
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Thank you Carl. Right now I am building a simple Meng kit of the 1/35 M3A3 Bradley AFV with full interior in preparation for an upcoming build of the 1/16 DKLM Bradley ordered last month, potentially converted with interior, rotating turret basket and BUSK III external armour. I’ll see what’s possible once I get the model.
