Default Unbelieveable !

I have never seen anything like it !

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

Cheers

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

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.
