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).

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.

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.

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.
