Default RE: JUMBO Build

Believe you me that turret is a beatch. You are basically sculpting after a while. Mine still isn't right but its better than nothing! To back up a step I used the new mato metal bogies. First step was to cut off the mounting post evenly as I was attaching them to Tamiya's hull. You must also notch the plate that attaches the bogie to the hull. I then found some 4-40 bolts nuts and lock washers at the local ACE and tightened everything up.

I also tried the spring conversion on the bogie wheels. I even purchased a metal spring set from BOB/ETO. I confess I spent so much time on it I was forced to just bolt the other 5 on as is. I will get back to them later...
