TOO CLEAN! BORING!

Their is a lot to be said about those who can get a tank running and make it look so nice so fast. I'm currently rehabbing my shelf queens and your work is making me feel like there is a higher bar to reach now.

Looks great but its sad the mato turret is so lame with ots flaws. I just could not live with my HLm4A3 76 mm mato conversion sitting next to my nick turret 76 tank.
I have to tamiya chassis waiting for taigen hulls and turrets.

LOL I agree. The more I look at it the more I think I'm allergic to "factory fresh"...
Was hoping to be a bit further along but got sidetracked painting a std HL Tiger up for a local club...

I meant to comment on that paint job. I really like the 131 style two tone desert look. You pulled it off the way I would love to do it all over again!

Thats the look I am going for on my HL as soon as I get the electronics dialed in.
