Guys...

I'd chime in here, as I'd started updating/restoring my pair of 1A4's (one will become a Canadian C1) by replacing those horrid mega-piece ones woth a 'stretched' set from the Tamiya Pershing. Sherman links won't work, the guide teeth are too big (as I've said before)

But all my RC work is currently halted, as I tend to come home after driving my idjit nephew all day rather beat/ Why beat? For someone with a knackered immune system, most of my gut gone, nasty arthritis and a buggered L3 (lower back), ANY 9-to-5 job is hard. So until his-nibs gets his license back, I'm down to just verbal advice as it is.

I hope to start back around January (2011) barring all else, and hope at that point to have a laptop to maintain contact when hospitalised (which seems to be every 6 months lately...)

Don't count me out yet though, and I'll make sure my dad knows where to post my gear if I croak...

PS: Sighted another Tamiya tank in the movies... (last was the butchered Tiger in 'Small Soldiers'; for the 'steamer-radar' unit) This one is in Tremors #2, when Bert Gummer joins the guys in Mexico, and uses a Leo 1A4 to carry his C4 instead of the R/C trucks. Luckily, ya don't see it get munched... it just travels off-screen, then ya hear the munch and see a cloud of dust. I could try to screen-cap it if anyone asks.
