RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hey Guys!

My Name is (T)Obi, 30 years old and master Boilermaker by trade. I worked for the Australian Armour and Artillerymuseum in Cairns where I was responsible for the restoration of the Hummle. I spend a few Month in the Museum in Munster just to measure everything and make all the Cad drawings we needed to get our "mess" back together. After a Year in Australia I went back to Germany but didnt really had time to get back into Tanks. But Now i´m back!

My first Project is a M4A1E8 with a late T23 turret. I got a old Tamiya Full option tank for 280 € and will replace basically everything exept the lower Hull and the Suspension.

Really looking forward to geek out again.

Hope you have a great weekend! stay safe and healthy!

Cheers!

Welcome from the USA! Cool photos! I’m sure you’ll enjoy this friendly forum and be sure to use the search feature for some information gathering.

Welcome Sir!

Looking at what you have been doing I'm sure this will be a shared learning experience for all.

Man your Hummel looks really nice! Not sure if I can give any advise... because it wasnt blown up and burried

Servus, Obi, and Welcome!
I think, that there are many here who would love to work on a full-size restoration project! For sure, I would! Lucky man!
Thanks for the photos, and do post more when you can.
Details will be handy for 1/16 scale projects!...and other scales, naturally!. They're also good to goggle at

Man Obi, you have had a job there that most of us can only dream about! You are very lucky!

Glad to have you on board here. Thank you for the intro pics too! I'm green with envy!

Regards,
Eric.

Welcome Tobi! I hope you enjoyed your time Downunder.

Hello and welcome to the forum Obi

Wow, only 30 and the envy of a lot of the forum. Very cool project to be a part of

If you're looking for a turret for your E8 build, probably the best one which so happens is made to fit a Tamiya hull, is one from the States by a man called Nick Aguilar. If you're interested I'll send you his details via PM.

Enjoy the forum.
Mick.
