This years competition classes will be as follows:

The winners of each class, which is voted for by you, will receive a £250.00 Armortek voucher, plus a $250 voucher kindly donated by Mike Stannard of 6th Scale Icons Inc., as well as being treated to a  a high performance Kart racing experience at the Mansell Raceway.

An extra £100 Armortek voucher will also  be given to any of the above winners, who have successfully competed a lap of the Armortek test track, during the day with their winning vehicle. 

Additionally we will have a fun quiz for which the prize of an Action Figure has been kindly donated by Lee Sellars of Newthorpe Models.

Robin,

My half track has a new reg. So I may get away with it, just don't tell Gill.

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone attending the Open Day will have a great time. Due to some misfortune with my health I can't attend which I regret sincerly. Hope I can join the competition "posthumously" Gill...

Here's my entry in the category Dutch Tanks with funny gadgets...

Marcel,
Really cool shell ejection system! I hope your health issues are not serious. Your Panther looks great!
Best regards,
Bob

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your concern. I suffered a neck hernia. Had surgery a month ago and I'm not allowed to drive for 6 weeks. That's the reason why I can't attend the Open Day. Recovery is going well, so no worries about that. Now other competitors have a fair chance at the model competition

I will post some new pictures shortly. almost ready with the final detailling. Take care.

[Brown Hawkins]

Marcel,

Any chance you can show us mere mortals how you made your shell ejection device? That would go great on my King Tiger and T34!

Cheers,

Brown

Hello Brown,

Take a look at this topic on the Panther page...

http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewt ... =10&t=3159



It's spring released with the spring obviously inside the tube. Reloading is simply done by locking the release hook again(servo operated by a two way switch on my transmitter and pushing the shell back in. In the topic I also showed how to operate the hatch which is quite easy to make.

Kind regards,

[John Fitzsimons]

Hello Gill,

I'm missing a price category...,

[Steve Stuart]

Hi Gill and Mark
Please could you put the quiz up on the forum and the next day provide the answers?
Those who did not attend the day would then see what we had to get sorted!

Hi Steve

Sorry not had chance to do this and do not have the quiz and answers in a format easy to reproduce here.
