WHEW!...glad to hear that fynsdad
...not a big fan of that tumor... I can understand the need for more storage on the Stuart... but never thought that protrusion was a good solution
I still have to say... after this... I just might have a go at one

SIZE .......... AGAIN???
...In the case of the Stuart...her speed made up for her size.... bringing in the subject of "It's not the size... But how one uses it "

Uses it - or loses it.................in some cases size really does matter.

Hey Herman...that Stuart is still in running condition..unless it was something mechanical... someone could gas her up and be on their way... no direct hits...so she must have been able to dodge the gun...
Unlike this poor sod
direct hit.. I would surmise .. it was it's size..and lack of speed that contributed to such a hit

HOLY CR.....P!
...Did it need that much wire?
...looks like the internals of a computer tower
With that said it's an outstanding Job...with the two speakers... she's going to be a mini rolling boom box
Pretty amazing work...One question... where does the battery go ?
