Are those tracked finished using the vinegar trick? If not what method? All looks great.

I wish I knew
Honestly I got them and they were waaaay too rusty! So I attacked them with a steel brush and WD40
They look much better now

Oh yeah... Those look really good

It is the board and controller I still have to figure out
It needs a brain

You do realize Mark.... the tank is too clean for those tracks ...your task at hand now is to replicate the same rust ...only on the tank

Had a bit of spare time tonight
I made a cover for the motors and gears to stop the grease splashing all over the place
Out of styrene.


Last night I fashioned a bracket for the jack. Not perfect but good enough

Tonight I am going to order a Clark board from immortal hobbys so I can bring this beast to life
My 2nd hand radio arrived today and I got a notice that the paint and magnets shipped.
Getting excited
