ALPHA

no, 1/16 scale.

Where did you get those figures? they really add to the scene ...great work sir...Also ..how did those winterketten do? All I've run mine on is dry grass...which I have to say ...performed very well ...the added width I had thought would snag on the dry debris didn't ... actually flattened them more allowing my Stug to make headway very easily

The figures are a mixture. The best are some unknown brand I found on ebay but some are verlinden. These are ostketten rather than winterketten. Still quite wide but not so much as the winterketten.

No video of the panzer 111 performance in the snow but here is the tiger. It's running with elmod. Metal Hull,wheels,track lots of weight added.

Here it is with music added to the startup sound.

Good Evening,
Continuing with the snow theme, *chuckles* the high tomorrow is 0 and it's snowing sideways out there right now. ;o)

WOW!!! That was terrific John....thanks for the 10 minutes of tearing up that snow I always wondered what kind of footprint would be left behind with one of these model tanks....even saw a small rooster tail come up on one of your turns really appreciate that....it must have been cold...also heard a few sniffles

In your second video...WOW!!!! again...that's some workshop you have ...doesn't look like you'll have a shortage of figures or paint

Thanks again...and you and yours....... HAVE A SUPER NEW YEAR

ALPHA

PS...can you do one of a 1/6th scale tank? or are those too heavy for the snow to support

SIDEWAYS????????????????????????

No snow here... only sunshine

Thanks Alpha, Happy new year to you also. That was my old workshop which was just a 6 X 8 foot room. Moved out of there now it'seems just another wardrobe for herself. The 1/6 armortek should cope really well with snow. Just no sign ofor snow this year. We seldom get snow in Ireland. Very cold here at the moment though. If it'a still cold on news day I might take a Tiger for a spin.
BATTERIES CHARM ED AND READY. Also new camera to test.
Same rule applies about leaving outside for a while before driving.

I didn't realize you were in IRELAND John...thought you were in the US of A ....But really...thanks for that video... I really enjoyed watching you play..even though it looked cold ...it was clear the fun factor was there... I was wishing I could control that Tiger just so I could take it off to the left where it looked like there was a pond of sorts

Will be awaiting your 1/6 run ...that sounds fantastic

once again John... Have a really great New Year

ALPHA

Ireland, not Scotland.
