Video

Thanks Martin. I am glad to hear that. 'Troshin" thats quality 😂 Hope all is well. Back on my Series 1...Cast now off, but my videos are lagging two weeks behind. Managed to re-start the series 1 this weekend...slow progress as my arm is still recovering, but glad to be back on it.

Good to know Gerald, thank you.

Hi Steve and thank you...A good idea...Not sure that would work for me, but happy to try this out. Thanks also for watching and supporting my channel.

Thanks Aus, much appreciated. Hope all is well.

Thank you...it is moving on quite nicely. Engine in soon and testing...super buzzed about seeing this start up for the first time. Hope to also re-start my Series 1 this week and videos re-start in two weeks.

Thanks Steve...I have had the cast removed now, but still painful....healing apparently can take a further 3 months. Hope to re-start my Series 1 later this week, but my videos run 2 weeks behind. Thanks for your continued support.

@@kiew3965 thank you.. full build on my channel in long form video content, and will resume build when my cast is off. Two weeks time I will be re-starting the build. Tyres are marked Dunlop and supplied with the kit from Armortek.

@@MartinFutter70 it is quite complex but engineered to withstand the abuse it’s going to get😂

Hi Steve, great to hear from you. I agree...very satisfying....I am enjoying this build very much and excited about getting the engine installed. As soon as this cast is off, I will re-start my Series 1 which I am also looking forward to. Hope all is well and thanks again for your continued support.

Thank you...Glad you found my channel and hope you watch my other many builds.

Thanks Martin...The instructions are quite clear and easy to follow...dont know why I was so apprehensive to start with🤣 One arm in a cast is not easy, but soon it will be gone and I will be back on the Series 1. Hope you continue to enjoy this build and thanks for your continued amazing support.

Thanks Carl, glad you enjoyed the video...it was a good day..hopefully we will meet next time.

Hi Martin and thank you...This is a real monster, but a joy to work on.

It is a great kit and yes you need a few extra tools, but quite inexpensive. It is a well thought out build kit with no issues other than understanding the sequence...The parts go together really well. Thanks for watching and commenting...Hope you stay for the whole build.

Hi Leon...Trust me...a lot easier...no filing, fettling, sanding, drilling, prepping or painting...just a bolt together kit, but still very challenging in that the builder is challenged to build everything, every screw, washer, gear, etc...I am enjoying this, but looking forward to getting back on my Landrover. Have a great rest of the weekend.

Thanks Alan...good advice...thats why HPI only advise use on metal parts and very rarely & sparingly.

Thanks Aus, hope all is well.

Thanks Martin, that is very kind of you. Thank you for your continued amazing support.

Thanks Bill....agreed....but determination is the key here isn't it? They provide two body shells...I plan to pay homage to HPI with one and paint it orange, but the other one is going to be a camo scheme in line with what I really love to do...Have a great weekend Bill and thanks again for your amazing support.

Hi Michael, Yes easy to build but you are correct...very easy to get ahead of yourself as you will see on my next couple of build vids. I did enjoy the model show and it was great to show off the M26 in public for the first time...it proved very popular. Wrist is on the mend and cast off soon🤞 Thanks for your continued support and have a great weekend yourself.

Thanks Martin and great to hear from you. I had to stop on the series 1 as I could not go forward with my wrist in a cast...The next step of the build involves a lot of fettling and modifying, so not ideal...I started an 'in between' project on a huge 1/5 scale petrol Baja which I was given to build and this is a lot more straight forward, as it is a bolt together project...This is keeping me occupied whilst waiting for my wrist to heal...Hope you tune into that build.

Thanks Daniel...It performed well...Thanks also for your continued support

Thanks Paul...Good to hear from you..Could do with some help for a Tyre pressure stencil on my Series 1.

Thanks Alan...I will be back on the series 1 as soon as I am out of this cast.

Thanks Brian...absolutely...I would have been in a right old state....Hopefully losing the cast soon and back on my series 1. Thanks also for your continued support.

😂

Thanks J...honestly, they would not listen...until I told them that the tank weighs nearly 100kg and little hands would not fair well against the tracks...on the whole most of the kids just wanted to look at it driving around...even the big kids😀

Hi Leon...I had to remind the Mum that this was no toy, but her little boy loved it...so did his Dad🤣

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching

😂

Thanks Mark....it was a great day out for the M26.

Thanks Russ, much appreciated.

By buy

Thanks Steve...lots of young, hopefully budding builders there. It was great to see the M26 entertaining the young crowd rather that just sitting in my workshop. You picked up her little jibe then🤣 Thanks for watching and continuing to support my channel.

Hi Keith....as you know....these tanks are impressive and people love to see them operate. Working on the early stages of my tank zone plan and will update on the forum soon....would be great to get a lot of the AT owners there when ever I get it open. Thanks for watching and supporting.

😂 so true...

😂..it's always the case...I checked everything on my bench before the show and then it decides to play up as soon as it was off the ramp...Hope you are ok now...and totally agree about the therapeutic values of this hobby. My Baja build has helped me deal with the restrictive nature of my injury and would have struggled to get through these weeks without having that distraction. Thanks Aus for your amazing support, it is very much appreciated.

This is well before I broke my arm...just forgot to upload😂

Hi Steve....My wife has also put me in the dog house...I am so grumpy about this.....just trying to keep kit in my 50's! I have to say...the build quality on this HPI kit is impressive...for the price. Thanks for sticking with me mate...much appreciated.

Thanks Aus...🤣 I did see your email...and sorry for delay....great kit you have there.

@@tonys_workshop cheers Tony, I’m on with a bit of weathering and kitting it out. 👍

Thanks David...will be back on the series 1 soon🤞

Thanks Trevor. I am enjoying this build and learning all the time. I cannot wait to be out of this cast though ans get back to my series 1 build. Have a great weekend mate.

@@Cranky301 This is what Armortek recommends.

I tend to agree, but I prefer the red thread lock and if I do get into trouble a little heat softens it to allow removal. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Hi Steve, good to hear from you. It is a great bit of engineering from HPI...If you cant find what you are looking for for your beetle on their website, call and speak to either Simon or Rich and they will try to help...please mention my channel if you do. Hope you do find it mate. best regards...Tony
