Re: Modelworks 1/8 tiger
one bad back later and its on the floor and IT Runs under its own power through the house ,knocked the bathroom door clean off and mangled some skirting board but i think i have got the hang of it now,need to soften the radio control with some curves
Re: Modelworks 1/8 tiger
No need to spend time on building in battle damage, you can just aim the tank at something and its done.
Re: Modelworks 1/8 tiger
Nice tank. I have a Mark 1 1/8 Tiger. I removed the pyrotechnics concerned that I may cause serious damage when driving under the influence. I replaced it with a really bright LED flash, much safer and cheaper.
As for skirting boards, I know all about that. When I first acquired mine, I loved it so much I couldn't bear to leave it in the garage so I kept it in the house. Every morning I'd wake up to a telling off from my wife for bashing the woodwork. I spent many hours on my knees staining and polishing!
