I´m writing this because of all of the wonderful and skilled people in this community.
I started this hobby as a accidental thing. I was looking at youtube on a Dragon 1/16 scale build in 5 or 6 parts.
And just happened to look at a video of a armortek 1/6.
After that it was no turning back, and compared to the minor things ive built 1/35 and 1/16....hmmmm the bigger the better and in solid metal !.
You all know the rest.

I have come to admire some of the people in here for there tremendeous effort they put in the art of modeling. No matter how small or big adjustments they do, i find it interesting.

I have, and i guess many more learned loads from the go all the way out people (you all know who they are:). ) and i guess im almost there aswell. Its easy to gett hooked on perfectness and scale accuracy....BELIVE ME :)

There have been discussions in the forums wich have both been good and bad, but still there was some little pieces you could snap up to improove the model.

Aslo the forum is the greatest way of sharing info on stuff, that is both usefull and interesting, many of the things i have learned have been a ahaa experiense.

I know its not a cheap hobby ask my wife, she hates every single package that arrives. But for me its a way of getting into my own space and get the stress and personal things of my mind.
Like a Tank haven ( i think its spelled that way )more or less.
Thou mr Dremel makes an awfull sound.

And i would like to send a greatful thanks to Mark and Gill and the Armortek staff for letting us play with their superb models.
And for the fast support.

And still be kids in our old bodys :).
Keep em coming.

My KT is mooving and im freaking happy with that.

Best regard

Hello Fredrick

I agree with you. I have been with this forum since the very early years when there was only about 40 or so active members. When very one knew every one on the forum. Now it is difficult to keep up but its down to the new owners that keep Armortek and this forum alive.
Wait till you want another one as the case with me and then when you have built that one you want another one. And this goes on.
There are some very talented modelers out there and it is allways good to see others fantastic work and ideas.

Do we need to form an Armortekies Anonymous chapter?

Might be a good idea as i want a Jagdpanther or a JadgTiger!!!!.
Addicted is just the middle name.
Get the model up on its tracks is like having a baby i tell you guys wich is still in progress with it :).
Neighbours wondered WTH it was hihi, many came out and WoW!!.

So i look forward to hear some more funny stories.

Well said Freddie, I have to agree. I esp like the forum as a way to connect with other Tank fans around the world, not just next door! Looking forward to seeing your KT rolling.
