The fun package arrived yesterday and I've got a bit more done, and created a bunch of fun new problems to solve too

Evergreen 11/32 plastic tube that I'm going to make my own recoiling barrel with. It's actually working out nicely; the size wasn't exact to the airsoft barrel but it fits where it needs to. It's snug but slides smoothly through the mantlet. The problem now is trying to set up an Asiatam recoil unit inside a tank it wasn't meant for... oh boy.

Long shaft Taigen steel gearboxes, my favourite, undergoing break-in. I've never actually broke in gears & motors before but why not?

Tamiya decals, gasp!!

Installed.

BIG REMINDER!! If you're going to use metal sprockets with these Taigen gearboxes you HAVE TO shave off a bit more of the flat spot on the drive shaft... otherwise it's too tight & the sprocket WILL get stuck on... very bad. I wish Taigen would address this... so again, HL / Asiatam metal sprockets are tight as hell on Taigen drive shafts...

Resizing the inside of the muzzle brake to 11/32, slow and steady and you don't lose a finger
