I raised a question about the "S" Tank some years ago on RCU and I think it was "TOM HUGILL" who came up with the answer !
I have long hoped for a mainstream manufacturer to make one in 1/16 but if no one is going to build a Centurian I see little chance of getting my grubby little paws on an "S" Tank
shaun.

When oil runs out it will be the turning point, the governments know that, and that is why we are seeing what we are seeing. The world population 2000 years ago was 2bn, it is now over 7bn. Emerging countries like China and India buy cars and build industries, and they require vast quantities of the stuff. Interestingly, all of the oil producing countries lie about their reserves. The reserves have remained constant even though they are producing 20 million barrels a day. The last big finds were 1967-1969, one of which was North Sea oil. That will run out soon, and the UK will become a net importer again. Tar sands are now being exploited, which is really a sign of desperation.
A few years back the tanker drivers in the UK went on strike, and there was effectively a trial run of what would happen if we ran out of oil and petrol. The entire country ground to a complete halt in just two weeks.
Virtually everything that we see and touch needs oil. Everything from plastic to ships, even the tools needed to make these things, and then transport them.
When the oil is gone, it is going to be the biggest game changer for the human race in modern times, nothing will be the same again.
The countries with oil, or access to countries that have it, will be ones that control the global economy. Everyone else will be back growing their own food, and driving a horse and cart. Nuclear power won't solve the problem, sure that can produce electricity, but to power what? All electrical equipment is made from plastic, and that needs oil?
Within 50-100 years the world will have to revert to the way that it lived 200 years ago.
Interestingly, if oil was priced based on the energy it produces, compared to a human, it would be £10/$15 a glass?

No horse or cart for me! I'm getting a porsche!
