Re: New to group, advice & tips needed
Hello there, RSMartin! You favor the same brand I have always liked: Torro/Taigen (actually the same tanks, but with variations of paint and generally with Torro offering more variations). I, too, am a sucker for the wooden crates. In 2021 I decided that making my own crates would be much less expensive. A skillful friend agreed, wanted a few for himself, and designed the use of materials for economical use of the wood. When he calculated prices at two different stores (Home Depot and Menard’s), he discovered that it was less costly to buy the empty crate kits from Licmas (in Germany), including shipping to the US. 
Now, we all are eager to know what you have in the crates and boxes: Tiger 1? Sherman? PzKw. III? Leopard?

Welcome to the forum RCMartin. Looks like you have a nice growing stable of tanks.
You've told us the brands but haven't shared which tank models?
When you like be sure to share some pics of said tanks.

Re: New to group, advice & tips needed
Hello and welcome. You appear to have a nice collection of boxes. Would you be an awful gentleman and and tell us the contents.
Re: New to group, advice & tips needed
Welcome to the forum.
First step....take them out of the boxes. Sorry couldn't resist
What models do you have? and what are you looking to do to them? Re-paint? Upgrade?

Hello and welcome to the forum RSMartin

Would the Advice and Tips you seek be anything to do with how to remove the tanks from the boxes?
