Armortek

Hi just thought I would introduce myself, my name is Mark and I live in Manchester UK and have just managed to secure a Comet as someone wanted to swop for a Panther, So quite lucky really.

This is a first time Armortek model for me, I went for the King Tiger and unfortunately a house move got in the way. At least now have I got settled and have my workshop up and running (the dining table was never an option). Tanks are a new field for me so I have a steep learning curve especially in the research as well as the building. Looks like there is lots of help and advice available on this forum and I can’t wait for my comet.

Welcome aboard Mark,
where abouts in Manchester are you as i live in Cheadle Hulme (near Stockport)
Regards
Steve

Welcome Mark.

> the dining table was never an option

Funny that, it never seems to be

My first memories of model building are putting together an Airfix model with my uncle and aunt, on their dining room table. It had a faux-leather protection sheet on it at the time, which was good because I distinctly remember getting glue everywhere

Hi Mark, welcome to this great forum. Any questions, simple or complex, will be answered by someone. There are so many talented builders and engineers here. Enjoy yourself and the build.

Pictures of your build are essential

Regards Stewart

Welcome Mark.

My next tank will be the Comet as well.

Look forward to following you build.

Best Regards

Thanks for very warm welcome I have no doubt I will have many questions in the coming months and this is going to be quite some project for me.
I am just around the M60 from you Steve come off at Eccles and I am about 5 mins from there in Swinton about 15 miles away. If I can be of any assistance to anyone just give me a shout.
