I was researching gun emplacements using tank turrets such as panzerturms and tobruks when a thought entered my mind. Firstly, such things might be a fairly easy starting point for a beginner. Secondly, such things exist at a fair price in 1/35 scale. Thirdly, (I have to give a bit of background on this one) (a) I have been looking at Fruil metal tracks for quite some time. (b) I have two BT-7 1/35 scale static models that I picked up to scale my 1/6 BT-7 from that I have no real use for. (c) I have been researching a good way to hack servos to convert to continuous rotation. (d) I just finished assembling a Tamiya twin motor gearbox, just to see how it works. (e) I picked up a Panzer 38t cheap from Wal-Mart (in 1/32 scale) that turns out to have working road wheels and sprockets.
So, keeping all of this in mind, I've decided to build those two BT-7 models as working r/c models. Is anyone else working in this scale? I mean it seems like a near no-brainer to me. The sheer volume of prefab vehicles, buildings, people, etc. seem to scream "R/C me!". I know that we are all about 1/6 scale and paintballs. Just wondering if anyone has done anything in 1/35.
