Here's my most recent RC build
 
It's a 1/16 scale all metal Leopard 2A6 with a remote weapons station added. It has full functionality including gun platform stabilization, engine, and gun barrel smoke. I've been working on it for the last few months and am finally about ready to call it "mostly" finished. I'm really pleased with the way my paint job turned out. This baby weighs close to 25 pounds =)

nice!...yer photography is pretty good too-especially on the Das Boot conning tower; what camera R U using?

Gwenydd 10-01-22 03:09 PM

using a G3 verizon flipphone
 
...the choice of brush doesn't matter so much; it's what the result is that does! I 'nailed' this in haste and shock at seeing a WWII SS Red Oak Victory from my Catalina with my ancient, due-to-B-replaced Verzion LG flipphone(G5 upgrade) https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cb8AA...vif/s-l500.jpg https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pic...pictureid=9922:D

It looks like Agora's Leopard 2A6

Whether it is or not-You have done a splendid work.

The painting is superb what more can I say. It looks like you get an unpainted model.

The Agora model I mentioned is build by monthly deliveries and there's part who is made of plastic-so it can't be an agora model.

Ah, yes, my Leopard is all metal and weighs about 25 pounds with motors, batteries and radio gear installed. And yes, it was just bare metal when I received it.

Damn, even her cell phone's better than mine! :k_confused:

Love the tanker gal.

Hehe - it's just a three or four year old Samsung Note 9 that I bought used from a friend for $100.
