Simon, that is a serious collection of Tigers. How do you get them out of the cabinet. I will copy you when my Tiger is complete. I hope your garage is well secured. They look nice and comfortable. Animal rights will have no complaints.

I'd just like to say that I have always put my receiver,sound card and turret control speed controllers in their own plastic boxes, because my Tiger which is now seven years old, has endured all its winters in an unlit and unheated concrete garage! Obviously I have carefully covered the model for added protection. I am glad to say that I have never had any problems starting on a cold day. P.S. Thomas's new Tiger sound does make it feel like it is struggling to start!!!

Holy moley Simon! Have you got any Italian sports cars you need to tell us about as well?

Maybe a Lambo (Lamborghini)?
I would made an educated guess on a "Rambo Lambo" (Lamborghini LM002).

i'm glad you like the "cabinet", to answer a question, the glass is made to lift out so getting the tanks in and out is easy, the cieling was placed low to conserve heat, the whole build did'nt cost that much money, as for having any exotic cars, not a chance, golf tdi, 50 to the gallon, radio 4 on, cars don't do it for me, regards simon manning

It's nice to see the vehicles being looked after so well, I have a building on one end of the house which has the boiler in it with patio doors and a door off one of the bedrooms and they all live inside so no temperature fluctuations to cause any condensation, they are a big investment and the electrics whether they are motor windings or solid state electronics need to be kept dry!
I do like the weathering on the early Tiger1 is that down to you Simon?

Simon,
Awesome display! I think you still have a few tanks tucked under wraps that are not displayed though! You KT and other Tigers look great! Thanks for the inspiration.
