Hey Gary, your pictures are not here just the descriptions...

Crius

That's weird because they show up fine here and also on my phone, which is a completely separate account. Are you on a home PC? Maybe try looking at the thread on your phone?

Is anyone else unable to see the photos I've posted?

tch2000

Can’t see the pics

Can't either from my home PC.

This website drives me crazy. I just wrote a 4 paragraph post on my phone, explaining what happened here and all of a sudden it just disappeared. Great.

Anyway, thanks to my friend Tanque, I understand what happened and I will fix it, but it will have to wait until I get home from work tonight.

I won't be able to edit the posts above, another wonderful feature installed with the last "software improvement", so I'll have to just post the photos again in new posts. I've also noticed that it no longer saves your text in case of situations just like this. When will people learn, If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!

My apologies for any inconvenience this caused anyone.

OK, let's try this again. First the M51 Super Sherman project tank








This one is $300 plus shipping. Let me post this and we'll see how it works and then later I'll post more. After 10 hours on my feet in front of that lathe I'm not exactly energetic, but whatever I don't get posted today or tomorrow will get posted this weekend.

Crius

And here's the full option King Tiger











This one is $700 and it has been tested and seems to work fine.

That's all for today, I'll try to get the other Sherman and the Tiger One posted tomorrow.

More Estate Stuff

The Classic Tamiya Tiger One









Asking $650

This tank has been tested and runs fine

Included in the collection were several of the Futaba/Tamiya radios, so if anyone is interested in those you should contact me. I believe there are four of these radios, with receivers

Crius

Next is an extremely rare and collectible item, the 1/10 all metal sherman offered by Bevan Johnston.











I've always believed that anything can be RCed, given enough skill, time and money, and this would be such a project. An excellent display piece, very, very well made and all metal. It does have some inaccuracies, you probably notice instantly that there's no loader's hatch, but a very, very rare and collectable piece none the less.

Asking price, $1,800

Crius

Back to 1/16

Tamiya Sherman, bare bones with nothing in the interior. This is ready for any project you might choose to use it for.





This tank is completely bare inside, with no gearboxes, but I'm told this was originally a full option Sherman and is predrilled for the twin gearbox set up.

Asking price is $200

Crius

Next is what we believe to be a 1/8 scale Jagdpanther that also comes with an upper hull, turret and rear glacis for a Panther, Kind of a two-in-one tank.



















This tank came with a radio and we believe it runs, but further testing and more photos can be provided upon request.

Asking price on this one is $1,200

Crius

Now a German Motorcycle with sidecar from 21st Century









This a static model and is very well detailed. Would look great displayed with any 1/6 scale German tank.

Asking price is $150

MORE TO COME

Crius

Here's an interesting box for someone that likes King Tigers. A box full of KT parts, some from static kits and one lower hull that appears to be from a full option kit with gearboxes. There are three turrets, two production and one pre-production, three upper hulls, mainly just a big box full of King Tiger parts.







The whole box for $250

Crius

Correction on the 1/10 Sherman, not made by Bevan Johnston, begun by Moody Braun and finished by Clarence Johnston after Moody passed. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Crius

Both Tamiya Shermans are SOLD.

RC_BobM

Gary,
Some great stuff - on the 1/10 sherm - the turret is not necessarily incorrect with no loader hatch. The early M4 Sherman did not have a loaders hatch. That was a mid production addition. That is a really nice early sherm. That may be a one of kind scratch build. How much does it weigh? I can't quite make out the size the images are very small. - Bob

Max-U52

Hey Bob, it's 1/10 scale. Jerry is familiar with this one and provided great info for me. I guess they did a limited production run, so it's not a one-off scratch build. Not sure how many they made but I know it wasn't many. It's all metal, but I have no idea how much it weighs. But, if you're interested I'll get it weighed for you.

And remember, all this stuff is listed with "asking" prices, so feel free to make an offer on any of it. Later on I'll be dropping the price of the KT and the Tiger One by 50 bucks.

Gary/Crius/Max-U52

Crius

Hey Bob, the 1/10 Sherman weighs about 30 pounds. It's really very well made.

Crius

PRICE REDUCTION!!

The Tamiya King Tiger has been reduced to $650 and the Tamiya Tiger One to $600. Both these have been tested and function just fine.

And don't forget, these are asking prices, so feel to make an offer. Ya never know, eh?

Crius

The 1/10 Sherman is sold.

Kind of surprised no one has shown any interest in the two remaining Tamiya tanks, both of which are well built and run fine. Feel free to make an offer, Fellas.

Crius

I'm rather surprised that no one has shown any interest in the 1/6 Armor Hobbies Sd.Kfz.250 halftrack kit, and I was thinking that may be because above all you can really see is a box, so I took some photos and a video of my own 250 kit, partially assembled. The kit listed above is brand new, still in the plastic bags, and I truly believe this would be an excellent candidate for conversion to RC. They do come up on ebay once in a while, which is where I got mine. It's listed here at $350 via paypal friends & family, plus shipping, but it's a light kit and shipping shouldn't be more that what you would pay to ship a 1/16 torro king tiger. This is what's in the box, shown here partially assembled





This photo shows the spare parts included, on top of the box that contains the complete, brand new kit



and here's a video showing how I plan to make this thing move under its own power, with steering, lights and sound.


As I said, it's $350 plus shipping and I really believe this would be a great project to get your feet wet in static conversions, and for the more experienced RC tanker it should be a piece of cake, ending with a fine RC model of a great looking little half track. I've always thought of the 250 as the "Sports Car of Halftracks" and it's going to the top of my "to build list". Naturally I'll do a thread and take videos of the project as it progresses, and if anyone is interested in the kit (which also comes with quite a few spare parts, like extra front wheels, and even a complete lower hull piece) just shoot me a PM.

Rc leo purchased. Thanks.

Mister Darby

Looking for my next Sherman, 1:16th scale, RC only, no empty tanks. Figured I would post here before I go buy another brand new one. Would love a Tamiya that is operational, Mato, Taigen 75mm, HL with the HVSS kit already on it. No Hoobens, as much as I want a Fury without all the labor to make one. Doing Oddballs Sherman from Kelly's Heros is high on my list. What do you have, paypal at the ready, or cash if your local.

I see nothing but seagulls, and I'm pretty sure that's an hallucination, I think...

Max-U52

Yes, the seagulls are a hallucination. The photos are actually of you doing unspeakable thing with 3 hookers and a chimpanzee.

And a midget.
