BlackMax12 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Here is my Trumpeter 1/16 Soviet/Russian collection so far. Quite a change over 50 odd years. A SU-100 tank destroyer, a T-34 with the 85mm gun and the later T-72B with reactive armour. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 They look really excellent together Lloyd. Superb collection! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks Badder Yes, fat fingers, 4 thumbs, trifocals and throw in some shaking and 1/16 scale is probably the best. Thanks Stix I'd like to put together something like a museum display to show them off better but dioramas and me and of course the real estate required just aren't happening. Take care all, Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Someone has a big display case ...........................! I often think I should try 1/16: eyes are getting too bad for 1/35! I too like your T-34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks Das Unfortunately the display case isn't big enough for nine 1/16 AFVs and soon to be ten when that Panther G shows up. I've been looking at some larger cabinets with glass sides and doors but they are close to or over Cdn$1000 so will have to wait. That would really cut into my modelling budget, after all that's almost the price of three 1/16 kits......... Meanwhile they are sitting out in the open on top of my 3 small display cabinets, a shelving unit and my computer credenza. They need dusting with canned air once in a while and Mr Cat hasn't bothered them, yet but I'd like to get them away from temptation.

Mark Hoffmanly Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Looks amazing. Just one of those 1/16 AFVs takes up about 4-5 1/35 scale AFVs from side to side. not only is the 1/16 an investment but they're also an investment in real estate for display as well.

BlackMax12 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Thanks Mark Yes they take up lots of resources, space and money but they do look nice. How about some more pics of your new large sized Panther? Take care, Lloyd Edited November 26, 2018 by BlackMax12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hoffmanly Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I have the pictures on my phone, just have to upload them to Flickr, and hopefully not go over that 1000 picture limit. I'll probably post them in my KT post since I don't want to start a new form for a tank I don't plan on building for a couple more months. And I did manage to get the Beast done before Thanksgiving, so I was able to show it off to the family that came to town. How was your Thanksgiving?

BlackMax12 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Mark Glad to hear the beast is complete and looking forward to the photos. Bet the family was impressed. Too bad the big Panther isn't going to prowl for a while though. Since mine is still "back ordered" with no word of when it will be shipped I have to rely on watching someone else's build. I sure hope it isn't almost a year like it took to get that second 1/16 Jagdtiger and the second King Tiger, that was frustrating. Our Thanksgiving is in early October so it's just a distant memory now. Watching all of the Black Friday antics and managed to pick up two Samsung 860 EVO 1TB solid state drives for a good price here in Canada thanks to the price matching of U.S. prices. That doesn't happen often enough. Colder than a witch's t$t here right now, quite a bit of snow and nothing in the stash again. Getting caught up on some Netflix and yes, just a little bored.

Mark Hoffmanly Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The family was impressed with it and shocked at how long it took for me to complete it. (But that's the fun part, right?) I know you have had bad experiences with eBay, but I have yet to have a bad experience or a bad seller(Knock on wood). eBay is where I got my KT and the Panther off of and got them within a week of ordering. Not sure of the shipping costs for the US to Canada, but it cost around 30$ to ship a large package from FL to my hometown. Sounds like a great deal for those 2 SSD's I sadly couldn't score anything more than a couple parts for my PC. Can't imagine what its like up in Canada for it to be that cold, down here where I'm at, we just went from about 50F(10C) to about 20F(-6C) in a day so everyone is in 'shock' since rain turned to snow in about an hour. So it makes for a fun time in school, where heating is dependant on the classroom or stairwell. Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
