Good Morning,
It is funny. I expected to be able to put some faces to the names by the tanks each member was using. I was unable to do so because instead of a bunch of bespectacled adult Hobby-ists, all I could discern was a bunch of kids having loads of fun with the best toys in the world!
regards,
Painless

The Volkswagen is one of Ed's inventions. It is known as the Adolph Hitler escape car scenario. The car is surrounded by German tanks and they remain within 2 feet of the Adie's car while the Allied force tries to knock them out and drive over the car to win. Basically you take a plastic toy Volkswagen make a tinfoil mold over top of it, draw on the tires and windows with black marker and then remove the car and it leaves the tin foil shell for crushing! LOL!
Yea, Painless, kids with big toys and big beers! No tuxedos though some of us do don our funny hats...

What a great scenario...instead of capture the flag...it's CRUSH THE BEETLE
...must be even more fun after a few beers

What a great video - I have so far only been thinking of this hobby as model building with a bit of functionality.
But that loks like great fun - my tank arrives in 14 days (if I stay on good list) and I already have a growing list of wanted upgrades, now I'll have to add 'learn all about this IR stuff' to my list of things to learn.
Thanks for sharing video.
