Looks damn good .... I want a go at something that scale. I have a part completed model of the bismark somewhere I keep meaning to finish.


past month or 2 I have been building/painting ww2 soviet stuff. Only 1/100 scale mind but so far I have painted about 140 russian marines, 2 KV1s, a KV2, 5 T34/76, 5 lend lease Grants and 2 Tachenkas. About another month until it is all finished. Will take some pics of the finished stuff tomorrow.

have you seen this 1/8th scale Tiger from Modelworks International

I saw the prototype at Pickering Traction Engine Rally in 2004, & it was impressive.
Still prefer their Sir Nigel Gresley
This is over 8foot long, 20inches high, 13inches wide & weighs 534Ib (38 Stone)

And costs

in the process of building challenger mk1 as we speak, opted for the gulf series. tamiya kit- great quality although as normal not enough time so have to keep going back to it

aim to do a warrior afv next.

is the tiger radio controlled? is so does it have a speed controller?

saw some tanks battle at the model show in brighton quite impressive also saw the model of the big rigs nice bit of kit but to pricey for me as some are over £500 just for the rig and £200 for the trailers
think i will stick to my radio control yatch all i need is a little breeze and off it goes replica america cup boat 1mtr long
