I'd better buy some styrene before the supply runs dry

Cannot wait for this build Diverfrost
Are going to reuse the hinges or make/buy new ones?

Cheers

Hey Greg

One thing that I do after removing the battery box is to flood the hull with resin. This does a heap of things:

1. It gives the hull back its rigidity - no more hull twisting
2. Provides a nice flat surface for the internals
3. Sures up the mounting posts for the motor (are you raising the motors 3mm???)
4. Adds some extra weight - don't have to use metal wheels or tracks
5. Waterproofing - (not an issue with the Pz IV as this is the most waterproof hull)

Cheers
Keivn G

Well you know me Greg, for me the lazy way or the highway. Mix the resin pour in to the right level and wait 5 minutes for it to set - jobs done.
