the Tiger's el-mod is almost straightend out, I've already got the tools attached and hopefully the decals on tomorrow - she should look a lot better next time you see her...

I will have at the very least the Elmod Tiger and a HL IR Jagdpanther. I have to swap out the RX14 on the Bulldog tomorrow and that means checking all the wiring to find out what came loose to make it fry the turret motor circuit..not easy when there is a Darkith unit in there.
Is everyone meeting at Robs first, if so, an address would be good.
Cheers

PS - Mart, did you get the Spectrum working, it might be something to do with polarisation..whatever that is? I was chatting to Mickyb and he mentioned it, though as I don't have a Spectrum I haven't a clue what he was talking about.

I know I live real close but it's a working weekend for me so very sorry, all the best though and good luck with the fund raising.

Its all working now, I just had to 'read the fine manual' and use the correct binding process...

I'll see you guys there at 1pm, I'm unlikely to get there earlier due to the hangover I will be nursing...

Well that wasn't bad, plenty of interest from the public, who simply took up seats along the perimeter and enjoyed the entertainment...even if Fleshy did attempt to see how many cardiac arrests he could manifest with a single shot from the Stuart.
Battling on the tarmac was much better than the Cobbaton grass, it looks like hard packed clay is the way to go.
...and I still can't find my bl**dy sunglasses! I reckon I either left them on the pork bap table, or our impromptu workbench.

The first one is entitled 'A man and his tank. A Hamlet moment'.
Matt took a few, hopefully he will post them up.
We had quite a few extended battles. Though the Germans soon realised that the lone US Pershing was a suitable target..
