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

With the weather finally improving, I decided to delve into the lock up and start the spring clean. It's been a bit smelly in there over winter, so I thought I'd get as much as I could out and give it a good brush out.

The first boxes have been taken over by mice :
All the PVA chips have been chewed to dust:
But the worst part is that as it breathes in, a mouse seems have a wee, and, as it breathes out, it has a poo. So the boxes smell worse than they look :
Most of the snap-seal bags appear to be intact, but I'm going to have to wash everything before I re-box it in some plastic boxes.

They even made their own front and back doors:
So, if you're storing your tanks in a shed or garage, don't leave them in their boxes on the floor.

your not alone adrian, i have had similar problems, all in plastic containers now, they seem to love the new cardboard, regards simon.

and they will chew thro, plastic as well. you should have made the tanks instead of storing them ..oh well all sent to try us...

Following my near disaster, please check your Tank's wiring for mice damage. I had all the insulation eaten off several sections of wiring, which if I had switched the Tank on I would have had a conflagration. Luckily some thing made me look inside the Tank before I did, disaster avoided!
