Almost ready to put down a base coat on the lower half of this Tiger...

Is the hull inside your house in the last pic Brian?

I'm pushing my luck with the wife a little....I told her that I couldn't get the gun into my shed with both bikes in there.What I'm hoping to is that she gets use to seeing it on the dining table,that way once it's finished and all shiney it may be able to reside there. Glen.

Glen, I am purely relegated to my basement I don’t think the wife will enjoy a 1/6 Tiger in the upstairs living area!

Letting the pieces I painted bake. I am happy with the finish.

Flat looks good. I’ll let it dry for a couple days.

75% painted.

Yes Marco, I am simply a visitor the deer are the real residents here. They are in the yard everyday. And I am afraid I will need to fence an area off to grow anything in the garden or they will eat it all. I thought about you and your Tiger driving through dog poop because my yard is now covered in deer poop! I will have to do a clean up before I get my tiger running.

Later when it is hot outside I can add flat clearcoat Time to start assembling the suspension arms after everything is dry. Haven’t decided when to start weathering but I feel like the inner ROADWHEELS is good place to start. Will prop the hull up and figure out a 30 degree jig. So far so good. I have ordered a Lifepo4 12.8V x18ah battery it’s going to weigh only 7 lbs I am wondering how much the lead acid batteries weigh in comparison I know they are heavier so my ride height could be higher. So far I only have motion pack I don’t know how much weight the other systems ad. Do people normally drive the lower hull for testing when the wheels and tracks get on or do they wait until the turret is complete as well. I will look at Oddball762 YouTube videos they are pretty helpful.
