Taking the tanks and scenic spots for photo shoots is a pain in the ***. I have tote boxes and baggies for all the stuff. Most times when I get there it's so windy the scale dudes get blown over before I get a picture.

Yesterdays pix were taken in a 35mph wind, the Panther's skirts were blowing off the hangers!

Non-dis crept backgrounds are best for pix, but the mtns. looked too good to pass up. In spring the Calif. hills would look very nice. Try someplace like Napa, or the Berkley Hills. The Bay and The City would look cool in the background. Put Transamerica in the cross hairs!
~~~~~~~~~

Quit that gol darn whining ya whippersnapper!. People left St. Louis dragging covered wagons and crawled through Buffalo bisquits to get to Colorado so that you could run R/C tanks in the high desert and snow now. Where's that pioneer spirit pardner?

Actually, I could use the sandbox at the local kiddy park for North Africa, and the beaches along the Carquinez Straits for Dieppe, Normandy or some Pacific island. I went up to the park at our local reservoir to run my amphibious stuff once (LVT, DUKW, LCVP and a couple of boats.), but the park ranger stopped me.....he said if anything sank, the battery and r/c gear would polute the lake. I guess duck and mudhen poop in our drinking water isn't toxic enough to matter.

LOL  Yes, duck poop is less toxic than a battery.   I still would not eat either one.

Sounds like the Ranger was bored.  And not into RC stuff.

!! NEWS FLASH !!

Today 1 / 16 scale RC German tanks from the Western Slope Division siezed Red Mtn Pass. The tanks were sighted in the ghost towns of Guston, Red Mtn. and Ironton. No casualtys were reported, but the local population is often out of touch with Government forces and agents. No word on why the tanks invaded the high country, perhaps it was just too hot in France. Ouray, the capital of "Switzerland of America" has declared its neutrality by offering half off lift tickets for Telluride to anyone reguardless of where they live.

Red Mtn. Pass is an important transportation link in the area, and having RC tanks in the woods may hamper tourist on holaday. Because of the threat of a decline of tourist $$ from the occuping tanks, the US Forest Circus is selling all the land to China.

This is the highest documented elavation for RC tanks that I have ever seen. 11,018 feet above sea level. They ran great.

Do I hold the world altatude record for RC tank operation?

I'm starting to think that maybe you could help rewrite history...........

If you got together with some of the people on this forum who are good writers, they could compose some "what if" WWII scenarios and you could provide the photographic documentation to back up the text. I think you could pull it off.

Great photos...........

Thanks Rex, comming from you that is a complament indeed.

I love servoblast's story about his red tiger. I cant wait to see where he takes it.

I am having fun with the camera / tank combo. In the future I hope to add support trucks and troops to the pix.

This is what it looks like without the smoke and mirrors. Here is the Generals confiring over the attack on Guston. It fell without any resistance from the ghost town populace.
