Title: Military sales show room ?
Post by: kpnuts on March 08, 2014, 07:30:25 PM: Hi all i had an idea what if you could go to the high street and buy a tank or I.C.B.M.just like you could a car so, i decided to make that a possibility. So you can now pop down the high street and pick up your chosen military vehicle complete with ammo or whatever you fancy.
I don't think its so far fetched either

Nice job. :)

I really like this idea and you sure made it look like a winner!

Obviously that tank in the middle is for the kiddy Warlords, can't see an adult cramming into that one :D

Post by: kpnuts on March 09, 2014, 04:22:13 AM: Thanks for all the kind comments I must admit I was quite pleased with it.

Post by: father ennis on March 09, 2014, 04:42:01 AM: That tank in the middle is the PzKfw 35(t) , a mainstay of several Panzer Divisions at the beginning of WWII. It really isn't that small,it's that the Tiger and the DUWK are really big. It had a 4-man crew,not to say it was roomy inside,though.

Post by: kpnuts on March 09, 2014, 05:24:15 AM: Spoken by a man who knows his tanks I must admit when the other models came I could not believe they were the same scale the Tiger must have been huge I mean the DUKW's were big and the Tiger is nearly as big (mind you what I know about tanks you could write on a postage stamp) the Tiger was my first tank.

Post by: Dr. YoKai on March 12, 2014, 09:30:40 AM: Splendid concept, and the attention to detail is really winning. I will say the scale of the figures seems a bit off, but it really doesn't hurt the effect.
Title: Re: Military sales show room ?
Post by: kpnuts on March 12, 2014, 03:01:09 PM: Yes the figures are off scale but I had them in the spare parts draw and thought I would sneak them in you are obviously too eagle eyed. Drat foiled again.

Post by: Kerick on March 12, 2014, 07:31:38 PM: What's the Tiger's safety rating? Any options available?

Post by: kpnuts on March 13, 2014, 05:46:55 AM: No they don't do safety ratings over here, but any car or truck in a would almost certainly be a write off in an accident with these tanks and there is pretty much nothing that could hurt you in one (unless of course you met another customer of mine)
