BTW, how's it going with the Tomsa Tiger?

 

slowly getting parts together for it. working on getting the road wheels master done and i'll be casting them out of the same resin i'll be using on the track links. the road wheels will be the ones with the rubber wheel on them. i thought i ran across 1/4" thick O-rings but forgot to split the difference, and ended up with one 1/8" i figure i'll make the rubber tire part of the resin casting and paint it black and add the O-ring to that just so there is some cushion/padding between the wheel and track links.

 

as soon as i get caught up with some things and have some extra, extra money, i'll be ordering the rest of the stuff i need for making the drive trany for inside the tank.

 

I don't expect to get the speed controller until January when money won't be a problem (sales pick up around mid January for me).

 

got parts for different parts of the tank, but not quite enough to get any one thing done yet but it's getting there. work on the house slows everything else down a lot (and just had a mini water falls in the basement with yesterdays heavy rains, but took care of that problem for the most part).

 

it's just slow moving.
