Hi Nick,

I think now is a great time to be getting into 1/16th scale armor... there are more and more kits coming onto the market all the time, and I think that prices will become more and more reasonable as time moves on.

1/16th just seems to have the right mix of size/features/fun for the money. I got my first tank a year ago, and it's been a bucket of fun. I'm currently doing my first serious conversion - and that's even better. So, whether you want to be running right out of the box, or want to trick out something special and unusual, there's something in 1/16th for everyone. And you get get in for under $100 with a very nice tank (be it a Heng Long Tiger, or a WSN T34 or what have you.)

Welcome to the hobby!
