Don't happen to have a band saw....

I considered plastic, but I like the way the copper/brass hangs and that I can solder up fittings to it. I am considering one piece units for each side. Less hassle and fewer cuts.

Some more pics and snow video. Runs very well in up to 1.5-2 inches snow on driveway. got half way up a 6 inch cliff. snow really packs into wheels and comes flying off tracks when in the fluffy stuff...look really cool!

Forgot to mention that I added about 2.5 lbs of lead to the model stacked between the trosion arms and in upper hull. Gives it a lot of weight through the snow.

russian winter: cammo looks good.

Fantastic Stug you've built xrad! Those pics look like they could've been taken on the Eastern Front! She's a beautiful little beastie! :D What do you have planned next?
Cheers,
Rik

Thanks Rik! Have a box of parts for a JP. Repair and repaint a PIII. And finally KT with tamiya hull. But I should probably clean my desk first.
