It is hard to believe that this will be our 5th Open day, however from the feed back we have had, and requests to continue, hopefully it will be as popular as ever.
We will be open from 9.30am
As always the factory will be open for everyone to see where the kits are made. The CNC machining area which is the hub of the production area, will be have one or two machines running to demonstarate their capabilitties.
We will have our usual variety of items for sale, including kit parts and material in 'bargain buckets'. We will have some kits and or models for sale by sealed bid auction, the floor is looking a bit crowded so something will have to go! There will be an area provided where individuals can advertise and buy and sell Armortek models and accessories. ( a real life 'For Sale and Wants section'), and a fun competion.
Traders joining us will include, Lee Sellars of Newthorpe Models selling Armorpax parts, Dave Dibb, Steve Winstone, Russell from Barbarossa Books and Tim Catton.
Also this year we will be joined by Sym of Churchill Creations who will be selling his range of animatronic products and will also be giving a talk on the subject.
Outside you will have the chance to put your tank through its paces on our test track and as always we will be having our model competition, with a variety of classes including the best in show. This years winners will be treated to a high performance Kart racing experience at the Mansell Raceway here in Dunkeswell. Dan and Sara went to check out the course earlier today.
Most of all, you will have the opportunity to meet up and chat with other customers. We know from your feedback, that this is in fact, the most enjoyable aspect of the day, for most of you. With many friendships having been forged over the last few years, through your common interest.
We are happy for you to bring a partner or friend. Of course please bring along your models and do not worry if they are not complete, part builds are always of great interest for others to see.
It has become a tradition in the evening, for those who wish, to go over to the local air club for a drink and a bite to eat.
