Various projects (video heavy)

Post by tomhugill »

Hey folks, I've not been very active on here recently, issues with photo bucket make it more time consuming to post pictures etc. However I've not been idle. There's an impending new arrival in the household which will stop model making for the considerable future. So I've been busy trying to get as many of my projects to a stage where all the functions work, they can battle etc so they can be used or sold as required.

I've got on my bench the following:

Brumbar late
DGS firefly VC
Torro king tiger
Asiatam/tamiya early tiger
Hooben t-55am

The firefly has received an ibu2u fo, fr7 speaker and speaker box, rctankelectronics recoil and vampire system. Mechanically, steel gears, metal t49 tracks, metal sprockets have been the order of the day

Here she is in action

Next is the tiger, has a full metal lower with the asiatam BB wheels (not the cheaper taigen ones), brass gears, servo recoil/elevation, tk24 and vampire

The torro king tiger is a bit more WIP, but upgraded with 4:1 BB gears, rctabkelectronics recoil, Clark tk24 (but getting a tk60), fr7 speaker from stian Sollie and vampire ir system.

The t-55 is getting the OKOMO AM upgrade, currently has metal tracks, dklm metal chassis plate, dklm speaker box, henntec idler adjuster and Clark tk60

If I manage to get into the detailing side of things I'll try and get some pictures up. The firefly is the one I'm trying to get done first.

I assume you did not mean to post the King Tiger twice. Should the second one have been the T-55?

I'm assuming the new arrival is a baby Tom and if so congratulations. :thumbup: They do have a tendency to rearrange your priorities in life and change things forever but its all worth it.
If it's another arrival like your mother-in-law permanently moving into the space that used to be your workshop, then my condolences.
