The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

i take your point. Even though i'm clearly in the minority, i'm still pushing for a tank. TANK TANK TANK

Hi All

It's tricky, I like the idea of Tank Tank Tank, but think of the versions of the Famo you could have: Open Top, Covered, Crane and of course Armoured with an 88 option.
Probably the biggest mobile thing on the battle field. As long and taller as Jagd Tiger (without the 128mm) Quite a monster in it's own right.

I'm sure what ever Armortek offer next, it will be brilliant and much better than blowing the money on the Costa del sol for 2 weeks

Am I bit selfish?? errrrr................................ Yes

I'm suspecting a lot of REMFs among us ex servicemen!!

Famo. You know you want to!

Having tried sorting the steering on various half tracks, I wouldn't envy anybody the task of trying to design a working system on an even bigger vehicle such as the Fammo.

Famo Big or Tank Big?

Such a tease

REMF's, have to google that one, I knew I should joined the army but don't you just hate it when they shoot back?

Ha REMF's

Got it!

It's either
The official website of The Robert Eaton Memorial Fund - raising money to provide football equipment for under privileged children from the UK and around the world.

Or

An expression from an American soldier from 1968, during the Battle of Hue. Apparently he did'nt like people shooting back at him too and wished to be some where else with the other REMF's.

Hello,


WANTED WANTED WANTED WANTED WANTED
PANTHER PANTHER PANTHER PANTHER PANTHER PANTHER PANTHER PANTHER

AND THATS THE ONLY TANK I WANNE WORK ON

Well, I'm going to be that one who always asks for something different and I'd like a Challenger 2. I mean it's not like I've saved that money for a mortgage deposit or anything lol....

REMFs Is a army term for Rear Echelon Military Forces. The guys who would normally be driving recovevy and supply vehicle's like FAMOS.

However the infantry Toms affectionally refered to them as Rear Echelon Mother F.....s

Also known as 1bn, The Kings Own Babysitters among other non publishable names, the only likelyhood of them being shot at was by the infantrymen of their own army

As we will nearing the start of the First World War rememberance events all over the country and on TV in 2014, how about a British Mark 5 tank from WW1.

I like the thought of a remote controlled monster crawling along at a slow pace.

Could be made into a male tank with artillery on the side pods or a female tank with the machine guns in the side.

I dont have an engineering back ground but expect it might be easier to manufacter than a larger model.

A WW1 Tank would be a very good, a British Tank and then the first Panzer for seconds!
Here's hoping
