Wow Neil, thank goodness nothing worse!! I recall putting out three or so fires at the antiques place I used to work at-all caused by welding. The worst one was started in the bins overhead, somehow a spark flew up into one, and got going pretty good before anyone noticed it, being elevated... The place was an old auto repair garage, an all wood building that miraculously never burnt to the ground, no matter how hard we tried!! The owner of the place was the worst (and repeat) offender, he started the bin fire, and others I wasn't witness to-LOL. Obviously, a big concern when welding...

I consider myself very lucky to still have two tanks let alone a workshop with nothing more disastrous than a few odd patterns on the tanks (and a slightly melted right hand fender on the Leopard ). I quite like the new camouflage scheme, shinny green gets boring after a few years :) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
