Mark brought along his amazing DUKW build

Some of Wayne's truck builds ( pm him if interested for a price ) - I've even got sponsorship :haha: :haha:

Nick in deep concentration

And now a roll of drums for the star of the show - Waynes awesome 1/6 scale T35A

George taking a close interest

It's hard to appreciate the huge scale of this tank from the photos

A brilliant day out and many thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to the event

Thank you so much guys, I had a great time. And my grandson said he had a lot of fun, (please thank the non forum members for humouring him). Apart from running his heng long bulldog around in my back garden, that's the first time he's run his Sherman, and he loved it.

And an extra thanks to Tom for letting him run the Sterling T26 tractor, although we had a laugh seeing Tom panic when the lad shot off with the Super Pershing still on the back, oops :lolno:

Yeah, was a good day :thumbup:

I did pucker slightly! Great to meet you and your grandson.

Big thanks to George for setting up the club, it seems to be going from strength to strength

That makes two of us ;)

Driving back afterwards, he did say that was one of his highlights, not scaring us, but driving your truck :thumbup:

That 3D printed monster is indeed a monster, each time I see a pic of it, it looks bigger than ever. Good to see the Hyde venue up and running, there is a certain atmosphere about the place that I always liked. :thumbup:

Gotta love that Traction engine

The Rat Rod Torro Converted Halftrack with Merlin(or big engine thing) in the front looks damn cool

The Mark IV is a piece of art and the Rat Car is just soo cool. Nice pictures
