It's definitely that way for me, Guy. The design, build, test and tweak cycle is the most fun. The fact I get to write software on top of that is icing on the cake ! Now that I have an asset to battle, I'm not particularly concerned with how long it takes to build the next one. As long as I can make steady progress I'm happy.
Don't get me wrong - the battles are tons of fun. I wouldn't be doing any of this if there weren't any battles to attend. It's great to get together with other people who like to build and battle these things. There are only a few battles every year, however. I can design and build whenever I want. I have an idea for you. It's a 'kill two birds with one stone' kind of thing. For your next vehicle, just build a landing craft like an LVT. Load up your tanks and yourself, cross the Bay of Fundy, turn South, and come battle with us ! - Doug From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guy Gregoire Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 10:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TANKS] building is the best part This make me think, I build 3 vehicules so far, all of them 1/6 scales and made with 16 gages blacksteel chassis: one Tiger, one PzIII (T050) and one support vehicule on six wheels. Every times one is done and in working order I play around with it, climb all what it can, push and drag on boxes in the garage to found the limits, and after a while of this I sit down and think of wich improvements can I do, or better design. In the end I always end up by starting to draw the new vehicule im thinking at and one day I buy some more steel. All this to say, for me, the building process ( draw-design-build-assemble-adjust ) is the most fun and rewarding part. Nice to drive it around and prove myself I was right here and there, but this always bring me to the next vehicule "draw" part. Is it the same for other in this hobby also?
