Love the decor. How and where did you get it all from? Like the material for the gun etc?

hatakashi

The cloth is actually hessian bag, I took it apart to make the guntube wrapping, the other camo nets are in fact real size military scarf

Really great modeling work and photography too. A few questions please...
How long and wide is it? What's running time? What do you use for the gun fire effect?
Thanks!

hatakashi

Glad you like the photos
Zircon measurs about 8 ft long, 3 ft wide. When fully charged he can run for 2.5 hrs and the gun fire effect is created by pyrotechnics.

nice photo work of the tiger .

what would that set me off $$

how do you transport that monster around.

I do have an older toyota LandCruiser BJ 42 that hooks a nice trailer and would carry the 1/4 scaler but must be very high $$$ to put a tank of that scale .

hatakashi

at the current exchange rate that should cost you around US$11,000.
And I carry it around in a small van, as shown in the video below:

that is absolutely wild .

One day one day .

what is the length of that beast ?

weight ?

Is it all metal ?

hatakashi

The tank measures around 8ft long and 3ft wide, weighs 250kg.
It's not full metal, the hull and chassis are fibre glass, wheels and tracks are metal.

superb photos .

nice detail very impressive .

Imnotanace

That is one very impressive Tank! The b&w pics look like it could have been taken back in the 1940's . You are one very lucky Guy to have such talent.

I love photography too great with such nice models.

These tanks look great with sepia settings as well

I have a Tiger 1 taken with the sepia setups and looks great got to find it and post them here too.

my wife looked at this and said if i brought this to the house I would be sleeping in the dog house with my new tank LOL

you are lucky man I bet this is the biggest tank in Hong Kong .

hatakashi

Thanks for your kind comments, I do like turning few specific shots into B&W, next time I'll try to take a few out focus shots to make it even more realistic.

Eassy11 just tell your wife even the dog house isn't big enough for the tank so you all have to sleep inside the house hehehehehe, preferrably in the lounge with a BIG tv!
And you're right it is the biggest rc tank in HK, and there are only less than 10 in the world!
