nice shots

Great shots. Did you paint it or did it come eady painted? Black and white is so effective.

thanks


i had it painted from Mark, which i think it looks great



i am sure over time i would mould it to my ways in due course with
figures and buckets etc

Animatronics is the way to go. I got a couple of figures recently but did'nt try them yet.

where do you get this John?

i am intrigued

speak soon

I have a good supplier. You can get them in kit form. He has a detailed post on assembly on the armortek forum and also a post on using the software to program movement. If you do not want to tackle the job he can get them built and ready to run. UK based supplier.

Sym has been very helpful and is constantly adding new features. The controll boards have various numbers of servo connections. Very small. About the size of a postage stamp. I got the smallest 6 servo version but will get a larger one as the turret crew will have 4 servos each. Sym gave me a good source for the servos and control boards also.

If you want to go really crazy there is a company in the US that can make a 1/6 head with your face but they are expensive.

My word they are amazing John

i have to look into these further thanks for pointing them out

Sym is now supplying arms left and right. Worth getting both as saves on breaking up figures. I got heads on ebay and a good supply of peadot camo uniforms for about 2 full crews.

Here are the servo controllers for figures. 12 SERVOS would give crew of four. turret crew with 4 movements each and driver and radio man with two servo movements. You could also program a servo to operate mg movement.
