I'm with Tim on this one .. The way that Gill is selling the PZIII's !! Like hot cakes at a stall.. Mark has the setting in the Hass machines allready ,we only need a new top .. The price would be about the same which makes the kit afforable , to new and old customers .. Check out how good this stug looks below I'm not sure what scale it is ?? It looks bigger then 1/6 ..Just think how good a armortek one would look .!!... At my place .. Dale
I would like to thank Mark and Gill for the wonderfull weekend at tankfest
.I am sure that everyone who attended enjoyed themselves, and hopefully some pictures will be available soon .
Hi All
I have been following this thread with great interest.
Being an old tankie I love the idea of Stephens Centurion a tank close to my heart and your comet Stuart would love one but if its going to be British then it must be a Churchill.
With all the variants that were made from the basic hull along with the odd upgrade it is a model engineers dream.
Just think of a 1/6 scale bridge layer awesome.
Regards to all

There is no time for peace.
No respite.
No forgiveness.
There is only ......WAR.
SdKfz 7 Half Track, 88mm Flak 36, Panzer III, TIGER I Mid 2010, Panzer iv, Sdkfz251, Famo ,Chech Hedgehog x2
Ammo limber, 25 pounder, Baily Bridge.
A Churchill would be fabulous but looking at it from Marks point of view
I think that it would be a daunting task to produce it in 1/6 scale due to the very small size of the road wheels?
G'day Fellows
Probably too big to make and modern but a M1A Abrahams, Leopard or Challenger would be an impressive sight. Correct me if I am wrong except for the Leopard they are seeing action now. Poor Gill packing one of these big boys up.

The topic of modern tanks has come up before. Mark and Gil pointed out wisely that a 300lb 1/6 tank moving at scale speeds, say 20 kilometers an hour could prove to be quite a hazard. I am not saying it wouldnt be fun, but the learning curve could be expensive LOL
PS. The Leopard 2A6 is alive and well seeing plenty of action right here in Afghanistan..
Hi Guys
Another idea how about a Marder III imagine the fun one could
have detailing the gun and open fighting compartment.
Add a couple of crew dollies great looking machine.
