Tow hooks and I've made a start on the tool boxes.

Those tow hooks look positively agricultural! Horse and cart technology

Love it....

Getting on, while I'm waiting for the wood glue to dry I've been wiring in the vehicles lights and have made a start on the crew compartment armour detailing.

One kit box just about done, maybe a few more steel bands here and there.

Lots done as I'm now moving away from the chassis.

I see you have had a productive day today Phil! Loving the Lumiere's

And there is still the searchlight to put on the turret

Motion pack test, painting and weathering the side plates. Long day today

And a video of the motion pack test, I didn't even need to "teach" the sound card. ..... it just worked straight away!

Bello Phil
You do a very perfect job. The details give it a very realistic impression.

Getting on but we have a slight problem with the motion control, basically when you first switch it all on it works great, switch it off and then on again and the drive has gone into limp home mode, no reverse and 20% forward or it might decide to be no forward and 20% reverse, I've used the spare main drive and it's just the same, I've tried all the other proportionate channels and just the same, I've had a look at the tx monitor and all is well there, if I remove the sound module from the equation all is well, if you disconnect the battery and reconnect all is well again until you come to turn it off and then on again....very strange but I'm sure the boss can advize .

Lots done, the motion problem was a power supply clash from the sound module, now all is well.

Finally got the drivers visor to fit and work nicely, I need to make a false floor inside the fighting compartment to cover all the electronic the gubinz, we may even be able to mount a shoulders and head driver.
