Good Morning,
Today should see the 754(r) completed. It's been a real learning process and a whole lot of fun. ;o) I'm looking forward to photos outside and running it in the evening.

It's been a long road from Research at the end of February through March to today. My 'Capture' KV-2 754(r) is finished. Pictures then a Show Off Thread once the weather cooperates:

Good Morning, Herman,
Yes, Waylon always gets up on the stairs when this one is being run. At some 25 lbs, it's the last tank in the house that you want to have run over your foot ( or paw ) I ran it outside last night after finishing and it trailed what looked like half the back lawn up onto the patio when I drove it back to me. Those tracks are unforgiving and rip out grass like no body's business. ;o)
regards,
Painless
p.s. How goes the White Tiger build?

Good Morning,
Alpha, no regrets, everything is in balance on the tank. Thank you again. ;o) Sun came out this morning so hopefully a thread this afternoon.

In the vein of 'complete', here are a couple of extra bits I found for the 'Palace' that will add some realism. ;o) Pictures:
