Scalawags Challenger 2 build
Re: Scalawags Challenger 2 build
Very impressed with how it ran and sounded (bloody loud!)
Quite tempted by one myself, but I would never do it as much justice as you have.
Was a good day today, always feel inadequate putting my tanks next to yours!

Re: Scalawags Challenger 2 build
Good idea - we'll arrange a weathering session where I supply the tea and watch 
I think I get worried I might ruin it over do it. Less is more and all that.
Look forward to seeing you add the recoil to this in time.

Re: Scalawags Challenger 2 build
The Clark servo rig looks quite large and the servo on the side of the cut down bb unit I think is an elegant solution, but to be fair there is loads of room for any set up in the turret, I may add the muzzle flash at some point, got my flashy light to install yet and irscalawag wrote:Thats an LED muzzle flash run from the IBU2 Spongehoobtank82. I am still looking for a rubber later which I am happy with before sorting out the recoil. I'm thinking I might use the Clark servo recoil rig for H/L tanks in this one.spongehoobtank82 wrote:Looking and sounding good dude! Wish I had added the muzzle flash in mine now!

I normally go with turn it up so can't hear the gearboxes working, then a little bit.
Although with the Abrams that is migraine inducing with the turbine engine pitch

Sorry - could not resist. I guess your predictive spelling has a mind of its own.
