Beautiful. You and Ralph would get along great with your "mini's"
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Really nice!
I used to have the miniature scale tanks. Think it was flames of war or something. I had a tiny jagdpanther. I wouldn’t of expected there to be that many pieces for this kit right?

Hi, You're right these kits have very few parts usually running gear and tracks as two parts left and right sides, hull top and bottom as two separate parts with all tools etc. moulded on then the turret and gun. The tracks and wheels are made of a flexible rubber like material and the rest is usual plastic I found the fit of the parts really awful and had to do a lot of trimming and then filling to get it all together, you get two models of different tanks in a kit this one came with a Panzer 3 that was so badly moulded and misshaped I binned it. I also built two modern west German leopard tanks I will try to find the photos of them as I sold them years ago I wouldn't bother with this scale again even though it was fun I'm into 1/48th scale now as it's smaller than 1/35th so better for display space but big enough to have good details etc. Anyway I'm rambling on now so will shut up and go and do some gaming.
Cheers Andy.
PS: To Gunny, the hands are still fairly good but the eyesight sadly declines with age so my glasses and magnifiers get more and more powerful as age takes it's toll.

You must have the hands of a surgeon, I used to find 1/35 models hard. LOL

Actually I have the hands of a cave troll with fingers like a bunch of Fyfe's Bananas, I make lots of mistakes but have learnt to correct or conceal them over the years I have also taught myself patience and when I start getting clumsy I walk away and come back to it later. I find 1/35th quite difficult because the mistakes are magnified and some things are much easier in the smaller scales.
