Damn shame about all that water, Doc, I'm about to sell my Mato PzIII, and all it needs is paint. Even has a viper for volume control and a smoke unit. But, from Detroit to Southampton would cost more than the tank, and it would be pieces when it got there.Dr Phibes wrote: Your Pz3 makes me want one of them now as well!

When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Basically started off with one of taigens metal hulls and built it from there. Havent went down the lipo route yet. I WILL get round to doing a vid soon i hope

That's one very clean and good looking installation. Great work.

Appreciate that bud thanks, really should get into lipo's, those old nimh's take up so much room, especially in the little tanks - that video you were looking for

Re: Decided to paint it...
It's coming up saying that your video is private.
Panzer III's looking fantastic by the way, that paint job is really something. I can see what you mean about the metal taking the paint well, there's no way you could get a finish like that on plastic.

Thats the video fixed. I completely agree, you CAN tell that its metal underneath, metal has a strange quality that seems to add another layer of realism, quite important in models i think
