It takes some trial and error to get the bends right. Sometimes pieces have to be heated and formed and then re-heated and re-formed. Some of them aren't perfect, but they look decent enough. Some of the bends were then finished using a belt sander to smooth out the bends and remove any heating

Derek: Nice work!! That PVC plastic is cool stuff, strong, glues easly, cuts nice, impact resistant, and I see it bends well. It looks like a good choice for building a tank. Your plastic tank is looking good! How hard was it to get good bends for your turret? How did you heat it for the bends?

Derek, very very nice :) I love how the thick plastic looks after you've got it formed... very much looks the business. -- Clark in Georgia -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group. To post a message, send email to rctankcombat@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email

Nice job. I particularly like the sagging tracks- very authentic. I hope they work. You certainly have masses of space in the turret for paintballs and stuff. I like the KV2, tanks should be ugly in my view and she certianly qualifies! Phil On Feb 20, 6:58 am, Derek Engelhaupt wrote: > I *final
