Do you really mean the DORA? :o To store it in 1/6 scale you would need a truck garage. See pic no 85 in the following link.......

I was joking! Since Jerry wanted the “Drag’n Wagon”, I thought I’d be a little facetious by declaring a true Monster! Actually, I was deliberately a bit on the “Small” side when I first suggested that they include the Sd.Kfz.250 in their survey….in that it would fill the great tacked vehicles description…. yet be the size of a more economical build.

Wow that is ridiculously cool. Didn’t see the Bailey bridge on the survey but I hope one day.

Exporting it with the timber became problematic. I'd happily buy it without the timber though.

WOW……What an amazing Diorama! Absolutely spectacular to see. Is it still an outdoor exhibit Vincent?

Hi Jack,

I don't know much about these guys and their models; I only admired their photos.

DORA a joke? Nearly a real pity... :wink:

I'm just a friend of models of large originals and / or models in big scale, up to 1/1. I saw quarter scale models up to 600 kgs and was member of a group planning a king tiger in 1/3 scale; weighing about a metric ton, moved by a bike motor with 100 hp. This project was abandoned as the main proponent died. Three hulls are structural ready. In Stammheim there was a StuG model in 1/1 scale.

Therefore I had believed it possible that someone would like to have a big DORA (or perhaps a P-1000 RAT.....) :mrgreen:

I voted for jagpanther, 88 and panzer 4. I regret not voting for some other but I was being reserved!

One thing I really miss about the previous survey was the intel they let out about statistics like locations. I found it interesting to hear tid bits like we had entries form these countries etc…

So many options on offer in the survey.
I voted for the kelloggs box tanks. Flat pack armor for the modern age.
I'd like to think that the choices made in the survey were made not only for the individual, but for the expansion of the hobby.
Now there's a conundrum. :D
Oh Man, I only ride em I don't know what makes them work,
Definatley an Anti-Social type

So far, we have been eyeballs deep in Panther packing and have not had the chance to run a proper analysis of the survey results.

We will publish some of the insights in the coming days.
What we can say so far is that there were almost 800 respondents and there was no clear favourite model. There are probably 3 or 4 that are vying for the top spot. But as I said - we need to go through the results carefully now.

As a new member of the forum (M26 Pershing) but a long time reader of its content I am amazed and impressed by Armorteks willingness, indeed, it’s openness to solicit the public for feedback on future kits. Well done! Like everyone else I’m eagerly awaiting the news as to what will come next.
