WOW! some people have way too much time. I had to LOL when the driver shook his head at the gunner as if he had let one rip!

Unbelieveable !
 
I have never seen anything like it !

Scale model armour has come a long way since I was an 'airfix' kid...

Cheers

No I didn't build that carrier... he did a super job on the carrier. I think he mad his hull out of metal, but don't quote me on that I could be wrong

RichardT10829 10-06-10 15:19

its an awesome job, have you done any more on yours ?

I have now finished and sold 3 carriers now. I have started to build a 4th, it's probably going to be a Windsor carrier. It is on hold at the moment as I've been getting things ready for the Toronto Modelers Show at Old Fort York this comming Saturday. The OOSC(Ottawa One Sixth Club) I belong to are doing another impressive huge 1/6th scale diorama. The show starts at 10:00hrs and goes till 16:00hrs. We will be in the white block house to the right of the road upstairs. So if anyone is in the area drop in and check it out

i had asked how much to make one of these and he quoted me circa 25k ! you could just about get the real thing for that wedge :D

Well for the ones I make they go for 600$cdn plus actual shipping charges. Here is a picture taken at the Toronto Modelers Show where it took a gold award. This was my first carrier I built. It was made out of a plywood door skin, the other carriers that I have built are made from sheet styrene. A big difference in the wieght between the two, the styrene ones weigh more than the plywood one. Here are a couple pictures of my 1st carrier take at the show, and the award.
