Animatronic figures

[Stephen Mason]

Can anyone recommend a source for animatronic figures here in the UK?
Now that I have my new KT I think a couple of these figures would look good in the turret.

I had one in a previous tiger 1 many years ago and cannot remember where I bought it from but I remember it ran off of a 9v battery and took a while to program. I also remember it had a bad case of the "jitters" on more than one occasion but I think this was probably down to the frequency I was using at the time.

Thanks
Steve

The most popular ones on tanks hereabouts come from Churchill Creations.

Sym from CC did a run through in the Craftsman's Market section:

Hi Stephen,

This is my setup in the Tiger, it uses 5 servos in the commander and one in the loader and is driven by a 6 channel Paulo controller, not the easiest thing in the world to program but a challenge none the less. The body of the commander is a mixture of Dragon and Churchill Creations the one thing to remember is the clothing has to be loose and able to be put on after completion, mine are cut down the back. Any further info let me know. Just click on the picture below for the video.

Thanks for the info Adrian and the video link Dennis.

I will contact Churchill creations and see what they have in stock. I already have a couple of figures that can be operated on.

Thanks
Steve
