Here is the Promised Show Off and Video Link for a Countertop Demo. The massive size of this Tank Destroyer made for dicey driving in a confined space. Torro's controller and board made it a lot easier. As noted in the Build Thread, many details were redone in brass and existing parts upgraded as construction of the originals allowed. Look for tiny details that once found, add a dimension of realism to the vehicle. Markings were done using Rad's excellent Stencils. Many thanks to Forgebear's Dave and Julie without whom many of the German made pieces would not have been available. Kudos to Jon and Magic Grime!

Max!
Thanks for the Kudos, Doc! I got impatient and a little heavy handed on the controller at a couple of points. This Board\Controller\Gearbox setup from Torro really emulates scalable driving. Clark is still better ( just a given ) but the stock setup did all that I wanted this panzer to do.

Painless

Ludwig!
Hello! Thanks for looking in! I am glad that you enjoyed the Build progress and finished ( are they ever? ) vehicle. ;o) Here is the link for the Barrel Support. Mine was a little fragile and required cleanup and details\adjustment but once done really added to the eye candy component of the Build.

Eric!
Thank you! Everything came together after a long year. These monsters were originally painted in rottbraun primer and dunkelgelb then a camo pattern in the field if there was time. Some of my favorite videos are of some of the last of these driving into Isserbohn (sp?) to surrender. Of course it is all black and white and shades of grey there in those old films. Since no photos of 321 could be found by me, I painted it up in shades of grey and black with just a few colors seen in the gear and primer. The crew supplies the white. ;o)
