Cheers guys, finally the weather has cleared up enough to run outside! She runs ok but I might need to use a better esc as she starts to stall out on the long grass. I've weathered her but kept it fairly subtle as I didn't want to go overboard!

Been looking at your build thread and your final pictures and I have to say your work is an inspiration! Thank you for sharing.
I wish I could paint to the standard you are showing. Big pat on the back to you!
I hope you don't mind but your tank is so cool I had to embed the vid to your thread correctly.

Great stuff, I like the driver as well.
The look is probably how Custer looked when he saw all those Indians at Little Big Horn.

Hi thats a great looking tank. I hope you don't mind me asking but in your first and third picture on the thread whats the model on the floor in the background. I personelly like building un-usual models and I could not see what that one is, its look like an engineering / recorvery model of some sorts.
regards Denzil

Good Morning,
It is a Sturm Tiger. Mr. Tomhugill is one of those fellows whose love of the Hobby is so extreme (and wallet is so fat ) that he carries out multiple builds at once. He has a Thread for the Sturm Tiger build here: *rummages* viewtopic.php?f=23&t=11652
regards,
Painless Wolf

Tk, thanks for the kind words and fixing my video for me! Ahh the sturm tiger, im debating to what level of insanity I will go detailing it! It is next on my tank to do list (although I have a sad looking panther f needs doing to).
I'll be honest I can't resist a bargain which has lead to several recent impulse buys!

Sorry to interrupt. But you should remove the driver when driving.
Why? The Tiger one could not be driven by looking out of the hatch.
In this position the driver could not reach the pedals.
And, by the way, the hatch is not quiet straight above the drivers seat. It is to far to the side.

That might explain the expression on the driver's face ....he's using his feet to push/pull on the levers while the gunner is operating the clutches
