Default Latest additions to my circus

After nearly 1 1/2 years two new greatly anticipated members of my 1:10 scale vehicle circus have made their appearance:



The Puma is a model I've wanted for many, many years as is the Lynx. The last two photos are to
afford size perspective.

Even though these models were very well packed in an approved wooden container with internal restraints
as well as a huge amount of styro packing UPS nearly managed to deal surprising damage to both models
which I was able to correct.

Uhhhh, in order to get a true perspective on the size of the r/c models, I think we need to know the height, weight, and other dimensions of the item you are using in this posting.

I'm with Rex on this one, your scaling object in the last two pictures is not as easy to read as a normal yardstick.

As a side note... pretty girls never smile at my tanks like that, you must be doing something right.

I should say that both of these models were not built by me but by Nils Hermann. The exceptions to this are that the Puma turret casting was actually my own original work
that Nils incorporated into his model and the tracks on the Luchs are actually made by Martin of Geisswerk

Me too!

I'm really hoping Battletrax ( http://www.battletrax.co.uk/index.php) is successful. It's a good scale. And Nils Hermann who made these two models
is a good guy, a great builder. I'm quite pleased with these two and amongst 1/10 scale his stuff is a comparable bargain.

I can build these things but time has become increasingly in short supply in the last 10-12 years... hopefully when I retire shortly that will change for the good...

I was also fortunate to be able to get a ton of stuff within the last few days from Wecohe, Uli ran off some of my favorites of his 1/10 line that just is the cat's meow
for detailing a 1/10 German. AND as may be known Armorpax scaled down his German tool clamp photo etch set to 1/10 for me as part of a commission so those are just over the top cool....

1/10 scale is decently active at present with German and Russian armor well represented, Christian ( Ludwig) is working up a 1/10 Cromwell kit for me
so yeah 1/10 scale is the bees knees....
