Any thought of replacing them?
Hey, I've kept them as its a battler and the sheet brass ones wouldn't hold up to some of the driving at the club (ahem pete and nick).

Rob, thanks to the kind words, I've finally got some paint on her but I'll keep it for a big reveal :)

You have rammers battling? Might as well just use airsoft pellets at close range to wreck all that beautifully done detail work.
Can't wait to see the final pictures.
As a side note just saw an old Lee Marvin movie, the name I can't remember in which Israeli M50's played German tanks in the desert.
