Well cant let you suffer that long still on going with filters but heres a taste. .  DSC09153 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .  DSC09151 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. This as I said is a vehicle that has been left out in the elements for over a year and is now condemned to scrap. Theres a lot more to be done on this ...melting snow for one thing that should give it some buzz Rgs Mac |

Thanks one and all.............Well ive been attacked by the RUSH MONSTER YIP that thing we know we should not do but hay I wanted the tracks and skirts on.....Enter the beast well the s**thead was in hiding till I looked at the photos and realised that the tracks were a fair distance from the hull?. What I had done was fix the swing arms then added the sprocket and idler to fit......good plan on any other day. After looking at my xact T80 I realised that the swing arms from the skif kit are twice as thick. Its Dremel saw time pin and peg well after some fine bodgeamo giz us abreak and fix this mother a rescue was completed back on track nice pun!

Better to find out now than later Mac! Sounds like the patient is recovering and the surgeon needs a drink or two.  |

Its a bit of a black art this is the second snow type thing ive done so iam still learning you can do different thing to the snow like roll it out in worm lengths and apply in little strips which was handy for this project.
