These are some of the 2nd place runners up through the year.

As you can see, they are all worthy of winning a TOTM, therefore I thought it would be nice to give them another chance, so here we are. Voting will end on the day before Christmas eve.

Thank you for taking the time to look at these fabulous models and voting for your favourite.

Panzerjaeger66 January/February Pz 4/70(V)

Here´s my Pz IV/70(V) from the tank brigade 109.

I used a HL lower hull including suspension and made a scratch upper hull and 3d printed gun mantlet (only). All tool clamps are also scratch built made of brass. All hatches are moveable and the Commanders persicope is rotating.
It was one of my first scratch build tanks, made in 2013.

PainlessWolf March Panther G

Evenin' all. You all know my early Taigen Panther G. I did a detail Build on it a few years ago and was going to submit it in photos last month til' I broke a track running it out in the lot. Well, the track is repaired plus I did a little weathering and juiced up the Commander a bit tonight. This tank still uses Taigen Ver 1 electronics but have no fear, I was not about to drive it off of the counter top. ;o) Also, I did not load the airgun for the video ( "You'll shoot yer eye out, kid!" ) Enjoy!

capt midnight March Panzer IV

Here's my entry for this month. I built this PzIV for a friend over a year ago. He brought it back recently and wanted me to add the schurzen to it. We decided to go with the Thoma schurzen as you just don't see to much of it. The turret schurzen is made from sheet copper, and has opening hatches. The screens have brass frames with aluminum screen.

Rcpanzer May. Late Tiger 1

Hello

I joined the forum in April and this is my first tank. It is a Taigen late production Panzer VI Tiger 1. It has been re-painted and all the electronics have been upgraded.

I started work on this video about four weeks ago inspired by last months competition... (so it was filmed and edited to last months rules as a stand alone video) Because it is suddenly to long for the new rules I have not added the maximum number of pictures. It is just under 4 mins long so I hope this is ok, I really don't want to cut it in half! I put allot of time and work into this video for the fun of making it and to teach myself how to edit, so please please watch my video and watch it on the actual YouTube site if possible (Bigger picture!) I would really appreciate some views and feedback!

Benedini sound. Class D amp running x2 3.5" 8ohm 10w speakers. Scratch built air tight boxes fixed to upper hull. Speakers running at 12V

Although I am pleased with how the tank has turned out so far, it is still a work in progress.

Many thanks, and please watch my video on YouTube if you can, I would really appreciate some feedback.

tomhugill September Sterling T26 tractor

Hope this one fits in the rules Carl! (Not with the number of submissions you submitted :P I've removed the second picture Mick)

Sterling t26 tractor unit with m15a trailer.

Theyre both entirely scratch built the chassis is aluminium alloy with the cab detail being styrene. Running gear uses custom transfer boxes using mechano gears with tamiya truck axles and Lego technic wheels.

Currently running in an 8x6 configuration and features the unique turntable steering from the original.

The 5th wheel operates as it should and it has powered ramps and legs for the trailer.

Built and painted by Foden

Owned, photographed and operated by me.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
