I agree with you about the addiction..........Not a cheap one either. As for the Ruggedness of the slightly smaller 1/8 versus 1/6, I can see how that would have a positive cause and effect. Personaly for me the choice to go 1/8 was purely Economical. I could almost build two 1/8th Tanks for the cost of a Quality 1/6th. Tough Sacrifices had to be made however as I do like to have the option of figures and Equipment. The equipment I can build, The Figures however are A whole other Issue. I have a 63' x 32' Spot of useless land that the Wife and I are going to landscape A Battle front on, Grassy planes, Hills, Rivers and Bridges. Add a few burned out buildings and Bingo, Instant Battlefield. She just loves these Tanks, What A Woman
I really enjoyed my 1/16 Tanks and have no problem with that scale. 1/8th will be a bit tougher for extras but I love the Hunt.
