Hi Guys
Firstly, thanks for all the nice comments about my love for Armortek tanks, my dog and the current build projects in my garage. Thanks also to my good friend Dale Jordan who tirelesly works the photo bucket for us mere non technical mortals. Well I am a good way down the track with the Jagdpanther. What is not to evident in the photos are the mods I have decided to carry out but will become obvious in the next lot of photos to be shown shortly. As you can all see I like to keep the tanks in fairly good condition and not to bashed, shot or shelled as a lot of modellers do especially in the smaller scales. My Tiger is not finished but has all the bits painted and ready to be mounted when I finish the weathering efforts and a bit more battle damage etc. The shots in the garage also show another aussie modellers (Adrian Gawecki) Tiger hull, deck and Panther turrent. We have, every so often, an "Armortek Day" at my place where we attempt to get in front on the build projects. Problem is it usually turns into an excuse for a BBQ and beer day with only minor works being undertaken.......................its all my fault!
Anyway guys I'll keep you posted with new photos as they come to hand.
Oh, and by the way, all the best for the new year

A nice set of photos and as has been spotted there are quite a few Armortek parts about, so I can't work out how may Tigers you have. Is that the drawing of the Type VII U boat I see on the wall, do you have an RC sub? Its someing I wouldn't mind trying but I dare not otherwise it would be another big spending session!!

Hello Allan
Nice to hear from you again. Your correct in your observations regarding the U-Boat it is a Type VII but it is not a R/C version. I bought it for my brother who has even less time than I do to construct models, he is a big fan of the U-Boat arm from the former times in Germany. I have only one Tiger and my Jagdpanther, the other assemblies you saw are Adrians who is waiting on a King Tiger, he has 4 or 5 Armortek kits to his credit.
I hope to have more pictures on the forum after I return from my trip of the Jagdpanther with my mods I have incorporated, I would welcome your feedback.
Kindest regards
