Sure does nice work, and judging by the list of inclusions, they would not be cheap!!
Outsides only of course, but shows what can be done with enough practice.(and cash!)

Think it’s a case of if you’ve got to ask the price you can’t afford them Doh!

"..All that glisters is not gold.." (Yep, Shakespeare wrote 'glisters' not 'glitters', and he never saw a Panzer IV )
Nicely decked out, with a long list of mods and yet missing a really crucial one: the Panzer IV had a sloped engine deck, not a level one.

I guess that if they are made to order you can specify what electronics you want fitted.

Whilst we can comment on how well they are cosmetically finished, and they are, as modelers do we want to purchase 'masterpieces' made by someone else or do we try to emulate their skills ourselves? Do most of us not strip down the RTR models we buy to rebuild them properly, our way? Just a thought, but they do look good.

Yes, GJ., we do generally strip 'em down, and customise them according to the extent to which we are afflicted by the Rivettus Counterius Syndrome.
However, for those who wish for a model with Museum quality looks, any tank-enhancement Genie hoping to grant that wish, ought to iron out the most notorious inaccuracies first.
Adapting a Tamiya upper hull, and integrating into the build, would be one way of granting the wish...

Absolutely agree. An artistic masterpiece painted on a cornflakes packet doesn't cut it! It needs to be RIGHT before you start applying the niceties. I wonder what they are asking for their efforts? I also wonder if they want prepayment? I recall reading on this forum of characters who advertise services, take the money and run.

No, if you want a 100% quality product, buy from me. £10k per item, 5yr build period. 'Whatyoudreamof.com', 13274 Chalrea St, Vulgaria, PI5 5TKE.

They were selling some of these through this page. When I checked on price I think they were asking $2000 to $4000 CDN....

Well, looking at those prices (Pluto) I would think they would use a quality base like Tamiya, they don't---Shame

Yeah, as mentioned above, prOper canvas or cereal box. Still, the work put into this makes the price look reasonable. I stumbled across some professional painting services for table top games. What they ask for there paint jobs looka like over the top on first glance. But considering the amount of time put into this. It is reasonable. Will do it mz way anyears.

The name of the Forum is RC Tank warfare and when I see eye bleeding prices for a 1/16 Tank my first reaction is would any sane person spend that kind of money on a Tank and then drive the thing across a British Garden in January
These vehicles are shelf queens and I am not sure they really fit into the remit of the Forum,
Those of us who have driven a 1/16 Tank across a British Garden at any time of the year have long since come to terms with having to search through the petunias for dislodged Tank bits afterwards.
I doubt that many of us would risk losing £££ of parts for a few minutes run in the Garden.
