If I were speaking; I'd be speechless. That's a truly astonishing graphics presentation :O

minor update on the hull.
here is a clearer view on the tank hull with the internals in, minus the crystal board and volume control. i do wonder do i need 2 boards or can i make 2 turrets parallel to each other with one board?

I would think you could control the turrets using a 6 channel or better unit...more like the type for RC aircraft....you'll have more flexibility that way

Good Luck Gigs ...can't wait for this one to come to life :thumbup:

also ive changed the top panned from a direct bottom screw to a slot in and a top screw to use less plastic and to lessen the hassel to unfasten the panel when accessing the internals
