Hi all, sorry I have'nt put any pics up lately but you know the story I got the tracks and the drive train in excellent working cond and I'm just in the process of doing the elevation and the gas firing part. It needs to be very solid and fool proof as I would not want to be a tin can with a gas malfunction

Good morning everyone, well the toy finally got picked up yesterday and is on its way to "Hotshots Paintball Park" in Victoria. It certainly had no trouble climbing the ramp on idle. Anyway that's the end of that.

Hi Colin

Well done, the Mini Tank looks great and I am sure the new owners will be delighted. I bet it has wetted your appetite to start another project soon. Congratulations.

Cheers

Tony

Hi all, the new owner (Hot shots skirmish at Anakie. Vic.) sent me a picture of the tank in action. Good to see they're making good use of it.

I wonder what bloke . The next to do list is almost done. We just got back a week ago from QL and took lots and lots of photo's of the kids and things. Went to canungra swap meet and took lots of photo's there as well and then LOST MY BLOODY CAMERA on the last day. So! not only did I lose our holiday memories I also had some photo's of the carrier I'm doing at the moment which is going to NSW in a month. I just got my new camera today so I'll get some snaps and post them in a day or so. Euan, I know I need to limber up a bit!
Colin.
