No I must stop. I don't want to get into the numbers you have

Oh i know I've seen guys on the internet with like 100 tanks. I remember one guy toured his big house and he had tanks in every room. He also mentioned he was divorced

Exactly the route I will probably go especially support vehicles and half tracks. Do need more WW2 and Cold War Soviet too. Although you wouldn't think it I'm a bigger fan of WW2 Soviet tanks than German panzers.

There is a lot to be said for quality over quantity, but in your case, 2 out of 2 aint bad !

Thanks! Started with a Taigen Tiger mid and a Panther. I should have stopped but I wanted to get into IR battling and this was during Covid and I would have had no quick access to the Clark boards so the easiest way was to order a Tamiya Tiger from AAF Museum. The Canadian dollar wasn't as pathetic in relation to the USD,GBP and Euro back then so while expensive it wasn't much more than the Taigens by the time I installed Clark boards and bought hobby radios. 9 of them are Tamiyas and I loved building and painting them but definitely no more. The Canadian dollar is just slightly above the Zimbabwan dollar about now against all currencies so that's the end of ordering tanks.

I was a little bit afraid

Only 3 are Tigers I have a love for Panthers like Mr. Chef has for Tigers. I would like to have more Cold War stuff as like most of us here that is the period I grew up in. A T-55 would be high up on the list but I believe that is a Hooben........

. I have more tables I just promised I'd stop when I filled the 3 in the pictures

Get back to me in a year. These things breed like rabbits. I remember when I thought my first 4 was excessive when I started in 2021. I had 10 by the end of the year

tomhugill wrote: ↑Sat Aug 16, 2025 1:25 pm Nice collection! What do you think of the conqueror?

Thanks Tom. When I first started with us being locked down for endless months in Toronto during Covid I spent days and weeks on RCTW just immersed going back through the incredible and detailed builds by people like you and Mr. Bix and Jimster and just got more and more hooked and interested in the hobby. The Conqueror is a great running tank. Normally I'm a speed builder but although it is mostly finished I seem to be in a bit of rut and will wait until the winter to completely finish it. I'm going to Bovington this fall so I want to see their Conqueror in the flesh to see a lot more details. I think it's silhouette is the nicest of any tank, especially with the massive size of it



Again a huge shout out to the people on this site. There is always some very interesting stuff going on that keeps me totally enthusiastic about the hobby

Good Morning, Sir!
I see no Type 'P' (Porsche) King Tiger or the Soviet KV2 'Big Barn' Variant. Consider adding these Tanks along with the ones listed by earlier Replies above. Your collection is one to be envied as it is obvious that much work and care has been put into each vehicle! Enjoy, Sir and don't stop Building!

"I've seen guys on the internet with like 100 tanks...tanks in every room...divorced." That wasn't me: I'm a widower.

"Divorced"

That's why he can have tanks in every room

No Sherman? No Pershing?

Are you saying you have 100 1/16 RC tanks

I've been trying to find the YT clip. It was about 3 years ago and who knows maybe it fell victim to the anti German tank purge on YT

I know I should have a Sherman. Just never been a fan of them or the Pershing. Now a total brute ISU-152 I could make an exception for. I really do like the WW2 Soviet stuff and I really like Soviet and German tank destroyers. I should have a Stug too

You are making a very compelling argument for a Crusader. What I need to get away from is thinking every tank I own needs to be a Tamiya protocol IR battler. It opens up a whole new world of relatively inexpensive RC tanks that can be modeled to look really nice and still run around the field

"Are you saying you have 100 1/16 RC tanks?" Well, not quite that many, but maybe close to my age... I haven't dared count--age or tanks--for a few years.

Panzermechaniker,

If you can't get more tables, how about shelving, an addition to your house, rental space, a bigger house, a second house.

Think outside the box.

My wife says tanks are like rabbits. They reproduce quickly.

Never thought of tanks breeding
But i started with 2 now have 4 with a 5th on the way
