Thanks meter. I have insurance so I am better off then a lot of people. My community was pretty much obliterated by a fire storm. I know things will be different from now on. I can at least get distracted by all your guys projects.

Sending thoughts from the UK. Properties and tanks can be replaced. So long as you and your loved ones are safe.

Thanks guys. The amount of friends who have offered support is a huge help in lifting what feels like a crushing blow to my normal life that was taken away in one day. My family is safe and we have an apartment secured for the next 2 years. I am blessed by a lot of things in light of the situation :pray:

We are all saddened by your loss😞😞. You were missed today at the LA Tank opening day but we all know you had bigger things on you mind.

Yoy! Huge fan of early WWII AFVs; your PzKw IIIs need some Valentines, Matildas, Crusaders to tussle with! Maybe even an Aussie captured M13/40!

Hope springs eternal!

And the tank destroyers on the Panzer III chassis. If anyone is curious of why I have the 3 gray stugs in the middle row. Those are loaner tanks for kids 8-12 years old to play at out event. They are more simple to maneuver in the battle for young children.

Nice

Yeah, I just cut out some styrene from the top of a plastic food container and glued them over the hole. You wont be able to use the stock LED but who cares.

Did you modify the headlights? They look great! I should do that on mines too.

Did a few updates to my PanzerIII. This was my very first tank in 2018. Bought it off ebay and knew virtually nothing about RC Tanks. I added metal tracks and sprockets. Track tensioner and a clark board since this tank arrived with an outdated 2.4 transmitter. It had zinc gears which I noticed were starting to fail. So I took the Taigen gearbox out of my Panzer IV and put it in. Much better now. No more uneven acceleration as the old tranny was slipping on one side. i also added some styrene too the headlights that makes it more scale and is super easy to do
