Nick,

That looks great! Hope you had a happy birthday by the way! The LVT is looking very good and it is always super to watch them get into and out of the water. I know that is the best part of having one operational to me. I am working on the tracks for my LVTH6 right now and still getting the internals collected for it also. I have the turret cut out, but I may break down and do it out of plastic instead of wood. Some of the bends are a bit tight for the wood.

Thanks Herman, I agree with you the hitting the water and hitting the beach are really satisfying, with that in mind and not before time, I made another Vid, this time with the Big LVT !


Next one is going to be on the lake once I get the courage :thumbup:

Looking good there mate! The choice of music was on the spot also. You had better take a bunch of pictures when you go to the lake too. They always look better in a natural environment. I am trying to convince the better half that we need a digital movie camera, but it doesn't seem to be going to good so far. I'll have to be more inventive in my approach I guess.

Awesome Nick, now all you have to do is convince the gf that a ton of sand & hundreds of miniature palm tress spread around the indoor pool is all for her! :)
