    Bob, Thumper looks great in the wild, but don't take her down main street!!!

      • Nice! I've always wanted to do a UN white tank. Bosnia looks like Scotland...
        The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

        • I'm about 70 percent along on my M113 ACAV so I took a few outdoor photos to check color choice and details. I also did a little detailing of the crew compartment and body using parts from the Andy's Hobby M113A1 kit.

                • Uh oh, another rabbit hole to dive into...

                  I tried out ChatGPT on two of my tanks:

                    • Another...these pics are what our inner child's eye sees when we look at our tanks, right?

                      • Here's a couple videos of my 1/6 21st Century Toys M5 Stuart. I put a lot of time into it, from adding ball rearing to the road wheels, and lots of modifications to take it out of the Childs Toy Zone to the Adults Full Function RC Tank Zone. It also has a 360 Turret, an Airsoft Cannon, servo elevation, and recoil. I still have a few minor details I'd like to upgrade, but I don't want to put a lot of money into it. East Coast Armory has highly detailed Head Lights, Siren, and the Turret Light, but the cost on those items is more than I want to spend. Yes, they look great, but they're fragile. Anyway, it's a far cry from what it was!!!

                        A couple of these videos are long, so speed up the video, or scroll through and watch parts of the video. Oh, I have a what if modification I could do on an extra M5 I have, I think you'll like that one!!!

                          The original. I've long since removed the winter tracks. They are completely unsuitable in grass, leaves, or anything that is liable to be caught in them.
