Smittyrob: Thanks! I simply used milliput for the welds. I rolled the putty like dough, then score it with the back of my exacto blade.

hdbeast: That's too bad man. I understand though. Real world stuff always takes first priority. Hopefully, you'll have some free time soon to enjoy your beauties.

Blitz: Actually, I cheated. I used the chassis of my old Tamiya King Tiger. I was planning on changing the Matorro's gearboxes since they inferior to HL or Tamiya, but I decided to use my Tamiya tank instead. Simply because of the fact that the Matorro suspensions are too low. It would take way too much mod to make them accurate. I know a lot of folks here would be able to fix that, but that's beyond my capacity. Plus I like quick fixes. And my old Tamiya had the wonderful Impact suspension upgrade. It would be a shame to waste that awesome suspension.

Here's a pic of my old Tamiya tank. I always loved zimmerit-covered German tanks, so I used the zimmerit stickers that Tamiya provided, but they do not look good at ALL.

So basically, it's a Matorro/Tamiya Hybrid, with Tamiya lower chassis and RC components, with Matorro exterior. So far, it looks like a wonderful combo.
