Armortek

You guy's in the UK. are having the biggest snow falls in 20 yrs. us Aussies are having the longest heat wave in 70 yrs whats going on . I wonder if it's snowing out side at Armortek's factory . Are Mark and Gill walking to work ??? How cold is it in the shed ??? At my work this morning it's 8.am 27o sunny no wind ... Dale

Hi Dale

We do have snow outside the factory, about 1" deep which I believe is not a great deal compared to some areas of the UK. It is still snowing but only a little. We have an oil fired hot air heater in the factory which keeps it reasonably warm.

The roads are OK and we have not had to walk! We only live about 6 miles away and we have a 4 wheel drive pick up truck which should get us to work unless it gets very bad!

So no need to worry KT production and packing will continue

Hi Dale
In north London we have about 180mm of snow and it

Hi Dale

Allan's Tiger pictures in the snow look COLD! BURR!

Sunny and warm here in Northern California. 23 celsius today. It's like Spring time and I'm loving it! Probably not as warm as where you are though.

Hey you all!

Am iworking n San Francisco, it really is beautiful, but they are announcing water cutbacks due to the draught.

Nice weather, but scary!

After seeing the news about how London lacks snow plowing equipment, I envisioned forum members taking their Armortek tanks outfitted with 1/6 scale snowplows through the city in line formations.

Something like this?





Or this



Would make an interesting conversion.

Here in the south east of England we are having the coldest winter for many years and its been the worst snowfall in north Kent for about 20 years. As for the railways - one snowflake and they pack up and go home - so its pain and grief now getting to work. Its been hovering around zero celsius since Christmas and too cold to do any real modelling in the garage. I've been waiting to paint the Sherman turret since before Christmas. I'm thinking of buying an air ticket to Australia at this rate - I hate the cold.

Hi Guys
Here in Illinios US this is the coldest winter in many years,we have had many snow falls.We had about 2' of snow when the weather got warm,and for a weekend,most of the snow mitted.But by monday the wearther was cold again,and now we have 12" on the ground.I have a pile of snow 5' high at the end of my driveway.
I run my panther and sherman tanks in the snow this year,but the batteries moved around,and gave me problems.I fixed that problem,and charged up my batteries,But it's just too cold for the batteries to last long.Dan

It's to HOT here in OZ for modelling !!! My Sherman is on hold for a while , Cold beer after work instead !!!! Dale

Hi Dale

We are really sorry to hear of the tragedy occuring in Australia. We are pleased however to know that you are safe and hope all our customers down under are too.

Gill and Mark

Just been watching the news Dale. Didn't know how horrific things have been over the last few days. Our thoughts are with you all down there and hope the rains up north head south soon. Fingers crossed.

Take care, Antony
