As a 'hopeful', it's been money to a certain extent. Know-how I either had, or found on here. Lately, time has been an issue, although I plan to get the chassis rolling under its own power during my 3 week long break after my final tomorrow.
As for battles, travelling to MD is a matter of time and money. Both of which will get better after I graduate in the fall and start nursing full-time. (vice working and schooling, both full time) I hope to make at least one battle up north next year with my Sherman. If Mike Mangus gets home from Ko-rea in time, maybe we can carpool (truckpool?) together to save the money. For local battles, I need to get recruiting and working to get the local fellas who've expressed interest, and get Copperhead to come up from Florida for a battle!
