You are some very lucky fellas... If I setup a Scale village in the backyard....my wife would make it look like the RAF and US Army Air Force did day and night raids on itImage

So we were talking today and my wife was making a fairy garden for the kids......... but this is next to the offroad course and semi scale village. So we have decided since they also like dinosaurs we are going to do a mini Jurassic park with dinosaurs and have little fairy solar lights on lamp posts etc and a valley with scale bridge and water feature etc.
All for a bit of fun :)

Jurassic Park style gate posts made and now to sort the sign and hinged doors. Made 12" width to allow tanks in if the fairies and dinosaurs start to cause issues.
Also got a load of scrap timber to start shaping the Warren Truss style bridge for our valley crossing.
A ventilated concrete block will be fashioned to look like a bunker gun in placement. Also making up a guard hut and barrier with some lamp posts.
Gonna have a break now as got to go away on business so hopefully get back to it when I return :)

starting to make progress on my tanks and shopping list and building an RC playground and then my car suspension goes and fails on me!
Lucky i can do all the work myself, but still it means all my time gonna have to go on replacing all shocks and springs and a big hole in my wallet. i will be back to the tank hobby asap with any luck

For those who interested Alfa 156 GTA, soon to be fitted with stainless coilover units to prevent a re-occurence of rust induced suspension failure.
