Post by Jeffrey Goff »

I have at last got some of my models on display, and have linked the halftrack to the 88 flak gun, and brought the PZIII and 222 out of the shed, I have been building steam locos for the last year, so it is a nice change to get back with the Armortek models

Very impressive display. Shame to have them in a shed.

Hi Jeff,

Great work, they look even better than the last time I saw them. although I notice you have had to move your Samurai Yori to make room.

Hi Paul the Japanese armour is still in the same place, every thing else has moved to another room,
thanks for the comments guys, Tim & Bob its good to post on the forum again, but my trouble is although I would love to build more 1/6th tanks' I have run out of room, you invest a lot of time and effort in building the models, and to be stored out of sight is a shame, what do other builders do with the models once finished
regards
Jeff

best place for the little gems, inside warm and cosy, rig the 88 up to the intruder alarm and aim the blast at the door that will scare em! best wishes simon manning,

Hi again Jeff

Funny enough, I was just talking with my brother about what I will do with all the models when finished. My garage/shop is dedicated to the tanks and the completed ones greet me every time I come home through the garage. Since I don't have the room for a nice display such as yours or Simon's, I was thinking about one in every room of the house.... but we'll need a bigger house. :? and of course the permission from the Admiral. :roll:

Kindest regards
Tim

ps, I like Simon's idea. A panzer covering every entrance? :D

I thought I would share a few pictures of the halftrack, whilst I have been checking it over, the canopy I scratch built and it has all the correct stretchers and frames, the covering material seems to be to scale thickness and folds down well, also a couple of pictures of the side and rear storage, this was also scratch built

hi Jeff,
My two tanks are out in the cold garage. Would love to have em in the house but they are bit harsh on hardwood floors. Like Tim said though, they greet me when I walk into my man cave (er garage). I still love em where they are.
I love the idea of an 88 covering the doors...Fine details on SDKFZ 7 Jeff, would love to have one.
Bob
