Thanks...Have seen some kits on Google Image's,,,where I got my reference from....darn sight better than my efforts...I reckon the scale may have been 1/35.... for anyone who has the Loco I think it would be worth checking out......will add more to train eventfully as I am thinking of ...in time...doing a small Railway Depo ( blowed if I can think of the right spelling)........cheers TomB

They would not be cheap...done correctly there is a lot of work involved...as I only do them for myself I can take many short cuts and skip the hard bits...TomB

Thanks Jag....I made the Tiger age's ago to illustrate a point about cheaper Tanks for diorama's...ie....3/4 size Tanks to be used in the background......it is narrower and not as long or as high as a real Tiger model...which brings me to a question....could you supply me with the measurements of a 1/32 or thereabouts Tiger Tank..Height...width... length... track width .....I am tired of guessing measurements for scales.......thanks.....Tom

You have been busy Tom, well done! Are you going to make a quad 20mm flak guns mounted on a flat car as well?

Awesome Robin, makes me want to go out and buy that Figarti Flak although then i would need a flat rolling stock to mount it on, then some more rolling stock, then an engine, then some tracks, then a siding, buildings, signs, accessories etc, then im broke! {eek3}{sm4}
