Cool
You can tell it's cold, the tanks breath is condensing

Will, I have one LGB loco. DRB of course. I want to buy or scratch build a flat car or two to haul some of your models or perhaps a V1 or even a V2.

Herman, you and Mick always provide a good laugh or two for me. Fortunately my nearest neighbor is too far away to hear Ol’ Ugly.
Mick, it was cold indeed and my wife let me know about it because she did the video work.

Absolutely excellent. Yes I am building quite a bit for my father at the moment to help him with his garden railway.
He has commissioned me to make him a1939 Krupp narrow gauge loco for his layout!

Same track gauge as mine?! G scale compatible or LGB. Same sized track.

G scale 45mm , although it should probably run 63mmmm, but will re gauge
However 1/16 narrow gauge runs 45mm very close to scale at least for UK stuff and some european locomotive

The difference between the color Tiger I photo and the black and white version is subtle. I now have some Photoshop ideas rolling around in my empty brainpan.
Speaking of ideas for projects no. 5324 and 5325: the snow sticking to the tracks is great! A long time ago, I whitewashed a static 1/18 Sherman, and ever since I have wanted to whitewash an RC tank and put "snow" on it. A T-34 or KV-1 would be rather an obvious candidate.

Please tweak my photos and make them look cool for me! I would appreciated it.

This won’t impress everyone and is probably old news to some but I get a big kick out of it. My commander’s head now not only turns with my radio’s left slider but it also turns with turret rotation and also when the tank is turning. Now he moves more naturally and at different times without me having to control it individually unless I want to.
Thank you professor Schuhart.

Come on man! I thought you were done tweaking things on her?!

Very awesome; and of course, I knew Rad was behind this!
Cheers,
Eric.

Ha ha! You’re right Eric, a tank is never completed and Rad is the Jedi Knight of electronic wizardry. This hobby has many areas of specialty but the electronic programming aspect is starting to get my attention more.
