The treads are done with white non dry clay, then spray on textured paint, then spray on snow, is directly spayed on them and under the chassis and misted over the top. I pioneered the process, seems like no one has duplicated it very well yet. Thanks!

I think everyone can agree that $250 is a steal for this Tiger considering the fact that you need both FOV and 21st Century Tigers to even get started...... :shock:

Yes it is!
Unfortunately the customs sales have dropped alot right now. People can not afford them anymore. I have let go a few customs for less money then I put into them. :(

I think im leaving the XD world. Well, atleast trimming it down. With the new collection of RC stuff I may need to sell off planes.

I agree it has gone down, but at the same time the planes keep going up and up. One guy said "just start it at $100" but that's ridiculous. Unless you are an experienced modeler you just don't understand the time involved with something like this... I don't expect to be paid the same per hour as I do at my real job but in reality it has taken 20+ years of building to get where I'm at, where as I got my MBA in 6 years... If only everyone wanted awesome historical 3D art on there mantels :D
