I will build a Maus one day in 1/6th scale just because I want to (maybe to pull tree stumps, lol), but finances and marital situation have stalled most of my forward tank progress. I'm away from my tools all week and on the weekends there always seems to be some teenage daughter activities or household operational issues finding time to work on the tanks. New shoes for the Miata will take precedence over buying the new batteries for the KV-2, etc, etc.... Also with no operational tanks near me, a battle is merely a pipe dream at this point.
