I have to ask, when you guys go to SO much time and trouble to detail these R/C tanks to this level do you ever take them outside and still run them or are they shelf display models only at this point? I can't imagine these fine scale details could hold up if you took them out and ran them, hell I have problems with just the tanks themselves I couldn't imagine this type of stuff surviving at all!

That thought runs through my mind as well... basically boiling down to the "Point of Reason" of a build... as at times it does seem things can go too far..also reason I don't have BUCKETS hanging off the rear of my tanks

All my tanks go outside and some even battle. When I build the photo etch I solder and try and bolt through the hull where possible to improve the durability . If they are to sit on a shelf I wouldn't bother with RC!

You have to be Honest Scalawag...when that Tiger rolled... did your heart stop for a moment

Yep it did but then I looked at it and thought "actually thats not to bad" and one evening of work and you would not know it had happened. :thumb up:

What can I say I like the detail and I like to drive and battle them too

Excellent work as always. The MGs look perfect and realistic as can be. I'll definitely follow this thread on my upcoming Tiger 1 build.

Alpha, I haven't lost a bucket (yet) *chuckles*
