Heh Heh! Now that's funny! So, uh, what scale is that Tiger?
Couldn't it use some photo-etch for the engine compartment? Is that a Jordio Rubio barrel? Why didn't it come with zimmerit? (and all those other niggling modeling questions!)
Cheers, David

Those are cool - and they actually look quite good - I doubt we will se them in the stores, though, along with that KZ camp

I could go over to LEGO and ask them to do it, though.

Build LEG tanks myself once - but it's a hell of a job;)

Apparently, the pic of that white AFV was intended to be a Panther. I think the builder would've been more accurate calling it a Luchs.

That, or a Pz.Kpfw. III - either way, it's a nice idea...

Lego sets arounf here are peace-oriented sets (ie no-fun)

When I was a kid I would just build whatever I liked from scratch, no instructions or anything, who needs em?

Id build bombers, ships, fighters and tanks, whatever.

Besides, these lego sets they sell nowadays are expensive. I prefer molded plastic anyway, for that touch of realism.

But those tanks look damn cool, I dont think theyd allow those in Canada.

RCR Raider,
How did you build fighters, bombers, and tanks from scratch? I mean for the wheels, tracks and colors what did you use? Maybe I'll build some . That'd be cool!

I meant from Lego scratch,lol. Not from sets with instructions.

but in case you knew what I meant...

Id just uses regular pieces and spare parts from sets. For wheels it depends, large single wheels for tail dragging planes, and the smaller double wheels for tricycles.

Its easy as long as you visualise what you want, and have good parts.

I had a lot of odd parts in my lego box.

Brings me back to the days of He-Man and 8-bit Nintendo talking about all this Lego
