A happy workforce is a productive workforce. It must be the Christmas party you have promised them if they get the Rolls finished before Christmas

Phil sent me this great late example of a stuck RRAC using one of its "ditching beams".

Possibly the very last job......the semaphore flags stowed on the turret.

Looks superb Phil, What a great model, so much overlooked in the Armortek world, often under the Radar, but a very interesting subject. regards simon.

While doing the internet browsing I came across a photograph of "TIGRIS". From Iraq 1941. Lovely caunter scheme so there might be room for a follow up

The later models look really substantial , they had I believe a Ford small truck chassis and running gear, hence the bigger wheels and tyres but all doable , it you want Just the caunters look then that's a lot more straightforward.
I'm having a new double garage/ pump house/ large workshop built this summer, my plan is to have a very large island work bench big enough for four builds at the same time with more benches and hydraulic tables around the edges. Also enough racks to store Phil Dawe's huge collection of Armortek unbuilt kits.
I have lots of new work and a growing collection of models like x3 Tiger 1, V2, V1, Flak 37 88, huge 1/4 scale Panther and associated ( which takes up a lot of room ) x2 Stuarts and enough spares to make maybe 2 more Tigers. I've also ordered a new lathe so my Myford will be up for sale soon, although 2 lathes would be useful. Happy days.
