Hi everyone.
My name is Bob, and I’m from Sydney Australia. I have been a Tanky for a few years and I do have a vast collection of 116 scale.
I have my tanks from Tiger, Snow Leopard, Sherman, king tiger, Challenger, Abrams, at the moment I’m working on some of them to convert to infrared and remove the ball Berot.
It’s nice to meet other people with the same interest however ends in Australia change clubs are in Queensland and Victoria nothing in Sydney that I know of. I most of my teens are hanging along and Maiko so at the moment there is on my collections and I have painted some camouflage them and some are use for spares.
So at the moment it’s nice to be among those who have this interest I work in construction and my spare time I work on my tanks.
Thank you all and hope to talk and share with others in the forum.

Hey Bob,
Welcome along. A great bunch here including a few Aussies.
Nothing I know of in Sydney which is a real shame. But it is central to a few of us, including Raminator in Newcastle.

Re: Hello
G'day from the Gold Coast mate
Still too far from you, but I'm lucky to have a great club just on 2 hours from me.
Take it from me, its not what brand they begin as that counts, its what you do with them to get them where you want that does !!

Re: Hello
Glad to have you along, Bob. Whereabouts in Sydney are you located? I grew up in the Hills district, but moved to Newcastle seven or eight years ago.
I'm not sure about any local clubs (or any clubs in NSW at all, really), so we might have to meet halfway and start our own. Central Coast Tankers?

Panzer Gruppe South is based around Canberra, Yass, Bungendore from what I've seen, but it's just a little too far being a 5 hour round trip.
