Tanks get the Push

Allan Richards · Post by **Allan Richards** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 4:28 pm

Well after this new and final bout of decorating the tanks and other models have finally got the the push from the house!! I've been forced to build some shelves for the tanks and clear a space for the boat. They had been nestling in relative peace in the dinning room but now this room is to be brought back on line for eating purposes - have you ever heard of anthing so silly???

I would consider selling these models but they are the old pre sound Tamiya models and the Bandai range of tanks. Whilst thhere is no sound they all have ESC's and DMD's fitted, even the Bandai models so if anyone was interested in any of the models drop me a PM

Nice collection Allan!

Love the ship! Did you build it?

Hi Allan, that's the thin end of the wedge, you know what I mean, give them an inch!!, only joking; I think we modellers all share the same gene pool, and collect the same thing, mine are still in the warm

Tim,

I buit the ship back in the early 80's. I joined the Bromley model shipwright club for a while and there were some superb modellers there. It took me around four year to make as its a scratch built 12 gun Brig.

Jeff,

Thats a nice collection of bits, I like the ships clock.

Allan,
Great collection of 1/16-1/15 models! Curious about the DUKW and Diamond T truck? I have never seen those in that scale, are they kits or scratch build? RC or static (the trucks)?

Fantastic job on the ship too! Esp from scratch, that is a beautiful job!

You will miss your 1/16 stuff if you sell it. I thought I wouldn't but I miss my Late Tiger 1. That was a great model. I recently bought back my E8 sherman conversion - after a year away its good to have it back!

Thanks for sharing your collections!
Bob

Robert,

Here are some of the photos I took of the DUKW during the build. It is fully RC, 4WD and amphibious. The rearmost axle is not driven but you need front wheel drive to get out of the water.

Also some of the Diamond T for info

Allan,
Those are fantastic! Very nicely done. Are you really considering selling them?
