Metalboxmodels.com- Handmade 1/6 models

Post by 43rdRecceReg »

Like Armortek, these guys have a very limited production cycle and, given the amount of work that goes into one of the these beasts, it's easy too see why their products are so bespoke. Anyway, without further unnecessary blether, here's an interesting insight into their manufacturing process....but at 27 mins, it probably requires a cup of coffee and a doughnut.. :D

Very nice thread on the tanks.... I think I have seen it before but was nice to see it again. Thanks for the link. I'll copy the link into my firefox and with the aide of the download helper will save a copy to watch from time to time and just drool over the wishes of owning one

As they seem to be Chinese, it would be yuan rather than yen. This converts to approx $8,900
