Miniature tank display.

Post by Meter rat »

Took out the models this afternoon. First time they have all been together. What a difference from the Tamiya Leopard, to the Challenger. Leopard is a single motor, twin clutch, goes forward backward, left, and right. Even the T72 without any upgrades has more functionality.

Nice stable.

And much appreciation for taking time to take/share pics.

I just came back in from a little impromptu fun run photo shoot myself. Just 2 of mine is some work especially when it's hot and humid. The last time I brought 4 out was in my living room...

Nice to see your work.

Nice group photo. You could convert your Leopard to dual gearboxes. That old clutch system is pretty outdated at this point. And you could sell the old system to someone for parts.

Part of me wants to keep the Leopard as is, for originality and novelty. Part of me, does not have the confidence to bring it up to modern standards, but part of me wants to have a go at bringing it up to modern specifications.
