Hello all, I am a new member to this forum. I always enjoyed building scale models of tanks and other AFV's. I enjoy working with in1/35th scale. But over the last 7 years I have also been building many tanks in 1/6th scale. I particularly enjoy in working with this large scale because of it's large size. I also like to work in this scale to create large out door dioramas. I have posted below some of my work. You can see more of my work on my website via the following link. Thanks John
