From the Isle of Wight, with love...

Post by CHRISTOPOPPIN »

Hello fellow tankers :wave: ,

The names Chris, I'm 17 (a youth! :haha: ), and I live on an Island on the south of England.
Ever since being very young have always been extremely interested in tanks specifically (120+ in my room, scale miniatures)

Over the past years I have owned various RC vehicles (see below), but never joined any dedicated forums on the topic before, but feel I should interact with a like-minded community :D .

Vehicles I have owned/own:
Owned - MLRS (unknown brand, wasn't a "true" RC)
Owned - Heng Long 1/24th Leopard 2 (airsoft model)

Currently working on a 1/6th scratch build of a Soviet T-72B. I will show progress of this soon!

Many thanks for letting me join the forums! :D
