Hello UK Tank Warfare

Post by RCBobM »

Hello all,
I live in rainy PNW of USA (Seattle area). I have loved tanks and anything with tracks since I was little. I have some 1/16 scale tanks, but my true love is 1/6 scale. I especially like scratch building. I have several Armortek models which scratch the itch some. I know some on this forum from Armortek and other forums,

I also enjoying making, manual machining, CAD design, CNC machining, and 3D printing etc.

I hope to share some projects with you here. Looks like this a very active group.
Best regards,
Bob

Thanks all for the welcome. I actually have two 1/6 Stuart now. This one is all steel, although turret will be Aluminum. The first one is all Alum. I will post build thread for each.
Best regards,
Bob

Welcome Bob from Texas. Decided RC Universe didn't have enough activity? :) Love the Stuart.

"I also enjoying making, manual machining, CAD design, CNC machining, and 3D printing etc." And it sure shows, too! It will be a pleasure to see and be envious of your "build."
Have you ever been to the "Endoline Cafe?" Does it still exist?

Thanks Derek - RCU and 6th Army both seem pretty dead. LOL.

Herr Professor: Thanks, do you mean this place? https://share.google/PvYeyHjmHbOZYQC0p Never been there but looks promising.

Welcome from the People’s Republik of Illinois. I’m a Missourian native though. Your modeling is impressive and if I had room I would to pursue a 1/6 Initial Production Tiger 1. I seem to be fixated on that early run of Tigers.

Hi Jimster, Thanks for the welcome. Armortek made an early version of the Tiger1 kit in 1/6. They still come up for sale occasionally but mostly in UK.
