My longtime project (still in progress). Base was Taigen chassis and turret and Mato metal hull. It runs on Open Panzer TCB.

Still to do: front fenders, more stowage, weathering, painting Oddball. I don't have speed of Frankie so it will take some time.

A really nice job sir! I would not worry about Oddball looking stoned. I should imagine that given the chance the film character would have spent most of the day stoned!

Bonus points if the speaker can play his dog impressions!
