Hey Ice, could you ask your friend David if he has any Tiger Drive Sprocket for sale? I still need a set for my Tiger and they are way over priced here. Also if you want a smoker for that IV they are available in 12v with proportional circuit included. Plug and play also available for barrel smoke as well. cheers Saxondog

I will post link this evening. Have it bookmarked on my laptop at home. Think they can also do for 1/16. They come painted just like the DID heads and have neck options for various body types. Did you look into animatronics. I kind a like the idea of having mini me driving the tank. They are expensive though.

That is an awesome site! I'd love to get them to do a Captain Nixon head to go with my Winters. Shame it's so pricey though. :crazy:

The Panzer looks amazing Cliff, 1/6 allows so much detail! I want to make the jumps up in scale, but due to money and space concerns, i'll start with a Willy's Jeep, and work up.
One of Randy Killen's M3 Halftracks would be nice as well.

Can't wait to see more mate.
Cheers,
Rik

Space is the problem. I'm just going to build a big garage. Looking forward to getting into 1/6. I was trying to find that site last night as I previously came across it by accident,(same as I come across most other expensive hobbies,like tanks). Took ages to find it again. I'm no oil painting but would like to be the commander of my own tank.

Looks like I will be getting a 1/6 scale tank soon. Found a vendor who bought 2 armortek tigers and has come to his senses before opening the 2nd kit. Late model Tiger 1 with motion,sound,smoke and blank firer. Santa will be coming early but will put it under the Christmas tree. Can't wait to get it. I will worry about space later. I will be broke but happy for Christmas.

It's going to be a handful. Think about 120 kg without batteries notors or anything else. I have to pick it up from the Isle of Mann so 2 car ferries each way and then try to fit it all into a mini cooper. I was looking for a mid Tiger but now think the late model offers more possibilities and anyway my crew are all in peadot camo. Will not get started as I will be away from home for a few months. Very excited.
