JEMAN Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well the Challenger crew have been out on patrol in the patio area that's being taken up.......sadly the challenger cant get there due to a few steps up there, and I cant carry it on my own as its 14 stone weight kinda stops me lol........but I did leave one in the Chally to guard it ha ha Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 That is scarily real looking JEMAN, ...I'd be a little worried about it coming to life at night and attacking you a la "Small Soldiers". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEMAN Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) OK so the Tank still needs painting and will be done soon.......but ive now added a Driver for the Challenger and detailed his head with the radio gear and Helmet.....also done some coloring to his face...............and Brad with the gun lol 12 inch figures so the Tank is a bit HUGE lol Still got lots to do but it has been entered into a show next year Edited December 16, 2016 by JEMAN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly350z Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Never in all my years did I think I'd bump into another RC tanker! I used to be well into this with a 1/8th scale panther, and a 1/6th scale panther. Did you get this from Mark 1 tanks? I used to know those guys well and be a part of the UK tank club. Still have my Tamiya king tiger stored safely away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
