Re: Update - New Australian Jagdpanther [TANKS]

Hey Jim,

I think I need more time off AND faster hands.

That's my next step, I was thinking of doing it tonight but the picture you sent 
made me realize I would make a total mess!  Not to mention it has to be indoors 
because of the weather.  I think I'll work on the electronics instead.  (Although 
I'll probably wind up playing Xbox live, oops)

I was gonna drill out holes for the rivets, it seems like its gonna be a pain with 
the glue regardless.  I haven't decided on spacing yet - any tips?  I admit I've 
become less concerned about track system number 4 because I've realized I'll have to 
replace it rather quickly for a couple reasons, mostly because the maple I got has 
the grain going the wrong way - its pretty easy to snap a peice in half . . . live, 
learn and waste money.

I also note the pergo board - if only building a tank was as easy as installing a 
floating floor!  Come to think of it - it would be nice if building a tank was as 
easy as Steve's pictures make it seem!  Steve - you tricked us!  I wanna see the 
blooper reel for this next tank - no glory shots!  :-)

-Amir
