| Hi all,
My name is Ross and I'm new to these forums and the RC hobby, but I'm currently building my first RC tank (Tamiya Tiger 1 Tiki scheme), and hopefully I can join you guys in an upcoming battle day. I live in Brantford, so it's not too far away.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and that I'm really enjoying this club atmosphere, you seem like a good bunch. |

| Hi Ross, Welcome to the club. Yes, they are a good bunch of guys. I've been with them for 2 years now and the Battledays are worth the 4 hour drive. If you ever need a lift to a Battleday I might be able to help. I drive though Brantford on my from Windsor. I also spent 2 years there for College, so I know some of the roads. We don't have many Tamiyas in the club, but if you have question we are willing to help. And like to see pictures.

| Thanks Derek. What battle system do you guys use? Is it okay to get the Tamiya one?
I've been taking a bunch of pics already. I'll post them when I get a bit farther along. Right now I'm priming all of the wheels....and running out of primer lol. |

| Yes the Tamiya battle system will interact with the systems we are running. _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

Interesting markings. Do you have some pictures of "Tiki" ? If you need some, I can send you some scans of the one's I have. Don't worry, I have not built that particular tank, nor had I planned on it, you'll have the only one at the Can Am I am working on a Taigen Tiger I, late, soon to look like this; I may make up a Das Reich running mate of Tiki's for my next one, No. 823 _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| Thanks all, Yes, I've been researching it for a few weeks. Probably what I love most about model building. I'm just not used to working in such a large size. I'm probably going to end up using all of my paint supply :-). The only thing I can't seem to find is a good shot of is the right side or the top. I bought the decals, so hopefully it will come with some sort of reference. However, I'll probably end up painting on most of the markings and add my own touches. I was looking at 823 as well. Really cool tank. Here are the pics I'm working towards. However, the real tank doesn't have the exhaust sheilds on it. |

| Ahhh, the Panzer corps is getting some reinforcements... nice!
You'll find the Tammy battle system fits in perfectly with the rest of us. I think we still have a majority using the SLU, but we have many DBC's and a couple Clark systems in use, and a couple Tamiya's. _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

HI Adman, I don't know if this helps much, but I found it in a book of mine. _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

| FYI a coating of paint on the tracks will also help to keep the track pins from working themselves out . |

| Good tip, thanks!
I'm experimenting with paint, washes and pigments at the moment. It's seeming to net good results, but I'll have to put a good amount of clear on there to make it durable. |
