Here is how I solved my hobby problem. 30 tanks and a myriad of other 1/16th support vehicles. And, yes I do have an understanding wife......... which got me my own very nice hobby room in the basement away from everyone. [8D]

Alright! And 3 Shermans too! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

No criticism intended. My tanks are stashed in the closet, because fruits of my earlier obsessions have already pretty well filled that room and this snap shows only a corner
I see BRUM!! lol

Nice Wacky! Great Idea! How about some close up pictures of the whitewashed tiger. Has that one been posted before?
It's in disassembled state, kinda sitting together. Its my initial project, the previous owner kindly smothered it in white, but not all so I am unsure of his intentions. I have to strip it down and will model it after initial Tiger 111.

That should certainly keep the neigbors at bay, even more so than the ones you have in your hobby room window.

I actually have 2 RC Brums (and 2 Tigers to keep them in line). Brum didn't really seem to catch on here and as a result Radio Shack (Tandy) reduced their price to about $20 ready to roll (and rattle) so I couldn't resist getting a couple.

Ok, you win. I thought RC tanks were for those that could only dream of having a real one. Do you just pull up at the park in your tank and roll the 1/16ths out the back of it? If anyone gets to close to the 1/16ths, just point the .50 at them? Hmm, maybe i need to find that site selling T-72's for $60,000.

The mg was a Browning M-1919A4 which was a dummy and just sat there looking helpless. So, I sold the tank and got a Dodge WC-51 and mounted a fully functional cal 50 HB M2 and carried functioning M-1921 Thompson and PPSh-41 SMGs. The SCR-508 radio was also fuly functional. Drove it for 6yrs and sold it for about 300% profit. Now I'm stuck with 1;16 models...my CIC says we now have grass around the house, so no more tracks or heavy wheeled mil vehs.

I really envy you guys, and Panzerpaul you have my No. 1 vote for
having a coolest workshop design for the tank hobby. I copied the pictures
and maybe one day I can build one too...

Here is my small corner wall in the house, the rest of my tanks are kept
inside industrial suitcases under my closet. The hobby table is directly under
that wall shelf....

Keep tanking...
