You are a very cruel man! I can hear Paul sobbing as I type.

Beautiful work, outstanding model (even with the minimal cable and minus a bucket). :D

The rest is perfect. I just did not want to say so, in case it went to his head!

Today's tanks are a bit "new" to my eyes, but I can appreciate quality work when I see it....and this is one superb bit of armor. :thumbup:

Great tank, Paul, but for me the best part was discovering your youtube channel. Very cool. Is that the scale airport in Hamburg? Was that just a visit or are you lucky enough to be connected to that work of art? On my DVR I have a TV show about that place recorded, and it's just amazing. My nephew and I have watched it a half a dozen times already. :)

But to get back on topic, I was on the fence about a Challenger, but now I know I have to have one eventually. :D

Yes, Hamburg is a very special place, but I'm probably biased, since that's the city where my Mom was born. :)

I don't know if y'all get this TV show in the UK (here it's on The Science Channel), but it's called "How Do They Do It?" and they did a terrific episode all about the Hamburg display. One of the guys that started the project still seemed kind of surprised that the bank was willing to fork over a million euro to build it. :)
