Default RE: Corny Panzer from Walmart.

Bullyhys,

The tank came with turret skirts, but I replaced them with styrene, using the old ones as a template. Also, the many bends in the mounting brackes proved difficult with styrene, as they kept snapping. Warming them up first was the key.

The hull skirts were a pain in the neck. [:@] Trial and error (mostly error) was the key. The hull skirts are still wrong, as they don't overlap like the real ones. I may just make the wire mesh skirts for it, anyway.

All of the pieces, turret and hull, were tacked together in place(hooray for double sided Scotch Tape!), marked out for mounting, and then glued together.

When I get a chance, I will take measurements and post them.

ALSO! I wrote 8 batteries. That was meant to be 6 AA batteries.
