Although the pole in the ass is making me a little uncomfortable !!
You know this is a feeder addiction to a 1/6th Tank mindset

Hi Paul, a couple of great figures you've got there
it's a slippery slope, Ad lav tricked me into buying his 1/6 Rc kubelwagen
and since getting it I've been looking at more and more 1/6 stuff so I bought this figure to use as the driver for now as well
Cheers, Lee.

I had a few GI Joes when I was a kid. When Dragon came out with Hans I saw him in a magazine and had to get him.
350+ figures later I had to quit!!! Along with a load of bought and scratch built vehicles Imwas running out of room.
Most are in storage, but I have several dozen tankers and airmen displayed and a third of my 24'x24' garage being used as storage for the vehicles. I scratch built a MKIV Ausf G and a MarderIII Ausf H, as well as the crew compartment/nacelle of a FW189 Uhu.

Can you post some photos of your tanks? I'm sure many members like myself are very interested

I'm sure there's plenty wrong with them, but at the time (mid 1990s) there wasn't a whole lot of available parts that were accurate, I had to go by what I saw in books and 1/35 models. The wheels and tracks were either made by me or purchased from Panzerwerks (Steve Hoeger). The Sdkfz 250 may have been a kit I bought and built, the rest were from scratch.
The FW189A was really a fun build. While looking for data I was contacted by a guy that was in the process of writing a book on the plane and he provided me with a ton of photos. I took photos as I was building also and must have several hundred. I tried to put as much detail inside as I could, down to ammo cans for the MGs (Dragon models) and instruments. If I can I'll post a few but I have to take each photo and downsize them to post here.

I just noticed this thread is a bit odd due to the member that began it not being present now.
I most certainly did not pen the thread originally !
