Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All -

Well, I finally got a few minutes to "play" with the Abrams again today. Made and installed the crew step on both front sides. Filled the grenade launchers with some "protection" stuff, and fashioned a tie-down strap out of some brown tape. Also fabricated some boxes of bottled water from a file sent to me by Gorehound (thanks my friend). Even managed to make a case of Pepsi. Still working on the MRE boxes, but I think I've got that now. Found a brand of box matches that the boxes seem just about right for MRE boxes. Should look OK. I'm still trying to decide about attempting to use the new Elmod stuff in this thing, but it uses a 12 volt system and I'm not sure their stuff will survive and that's an expensive experiment, but we'll see. This thing runs well, even in the cold, and the "beefed up" suspension seems to handle just about anything I can throw at it. I sure wish 21st Century Toys would re-release this thing (with just a couple of improvements). Take care one and all, stay safe !!!
