Re: 1/6 scale [TANKS]

["Derek Engelhaupt" <tankme-at-gmail.com>]

I just like the 1/6 scale idea and appreciate the fact some don't want
to build to that scale, but since I have a 1/6 scale Hummer (well two
of them) like the one just designated I wanted an Abrams to escort it
into battle in the right proportion.  I have the sides of the hull cut
for an Abrams and it will be quite large.  Since I don't currently
have any battlers around me, scale is a moot point so 1/6 is just a
preference.  I also have a 1/18 scale M113 that I want to use to scale
up to 1/6.  On the Sturmtiger front, finally got all of the wheels
mounted and working on the suspension springs, but I need just a few
more drivetrain parts to get it moving under it's own power.  I did
finally just decide to use my EV Warrior motors to power it.  Still
haven't found my digital camera.....
