OOH OOH OOH,, now I know what to do with me spare Bulldog chassis...hows it look scale wise ? Will follow this one like a really following thing ! Good effort mate

the sacle not to far out .. its a bit wide by 8 mm but thats because the chassis is to wide in the first place ..
i did look at going for thhe build from thr chassis up .. but just thought s.o.d it .... the bulldong going spare and its about time some one did some this with this chassis

whst did help alot with the width was changeing the bulldon tracks and sprockets for pershing ... that made a huge difference ...
