Had time over the weekend to put together a scale model in cardboard. Because of the size restrictions I had to make it wider and shorter than planned, and it ended up looking less like Atomic as intended and more like Rapid.

How do you put a photo/picture in a post? I'm aware most people use Photobucket but they charge a monthly fee, is there a way to do it for free?

Yeah, I’ve heard that DasMikro’s can be temperamental at times. But I figured I can get away with using one if I don’t attach a weapon servo and just make a pusher...hopefully.

Some I can get away with putting off until after exams. With regards to the battery I've m...
