Hey John,
Yahoo... to your choice of using aluminum... It looks like 1/8th inch
stock...I'm guessing.
My brother, who owns his own construction business, was able to score some
1/8th stock, which he said I could have. I'm planning on using it for my
build, a nice Jagdpanther kitty, one of these decades... (I've got to pick
Tyng's brains about his switch from friction to cog drive...)
BUT, I was tossing in bed one night recently, thinking about the build, and
started getting nervous about using aluminum, wondering why one of you guys
hadn't tried it by now... I started figuring that there might be some
adverse consideration for not using aluminum... Alas, my fears have been
vanquished. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of you aluminum build.
Oh yeah, did you see this site, it's about those aluminum "brazing" rods,
may be of use to you, they seem relatively cheap and it seems to work.

Per Cobra's request here are some build pics. MAG and Tri-Pact Motor
Corp. have moved on to using that most pleasant of green materials,
Aluminum. And some lovely plastic resin for the cog and tracks. Rumor has
it that on the 30th there might be vids of one of the twin panzers under
power. Stay tuned tank fans for the next level in our hobby.
No silly finger joints, just bend, fold, rivet and weld. Life is good.
And, the little beast is easily handled by one person. I guess I'll have
to let the chiropractor know his services is not required any longer. Yes,
there still are a few pieces of that renewable resource known as wood.
Mainly for nostalgia, and not to scare Mr. Tyng. Enjoy.
If you wish to see some action, on June 12th there is a fracas
scheduled. Contact Frank if you need directions to the location.
