Personally I don’t think those kits are toys. On that forum we never had a debate about this is a “real” kit or not....
We love modelling in all the ways.
Actually I’m building a toy and nobody says nothing.....

In the eyes of a lot of people, all models are toys! Who cares? It's a good thing we all don't see things the same way, the world would be a very boring place!

Hi Pete
These are great, you do it your way and sod the lot of ‘em....
Actually, I think of everything we do as toys. From my perspective, my figures are toys, my 1/35 and 1/48 stuff are toys, my Gibson Les Paul is a toy, my Hifi is a toy, some are costly yes, but they are things I like to play with.....so they are all toys. We stick plastic together and throw paint at it, can’t see much of a bar to lower to be honest LOL
Cheers
Tim

I was going to do a box review but there's a full build video available here:

It's another milestone reached, although I'm not sure what sort of milestone .....

Based on average ebay prices at the time of purchase - I know ebay prices can fluctuate wildly - the value of my stash has just passed £10 000.

Now I’m an old(ish) man, I’ve picked them up again, and I don’t worry what people think. Whatever makes you happy.

Please don't let the fact that these are toys stop you showing your builds. They're no more toys than egg planes or 'what-ifs' and we've enjoyed many of both of those over here.

Everything we do here will be considered toys by the vast majority of the population. Who cares? Family men buying tiny sports cars or huge motorcycles - just for the weekend - are still playing with toys they couldn't pay me to play with. Folks spending fortunes on 'adventure' holidays are also just playing at stuff they couldn't pay me to do.

It's your life and your free time. You fill it with whatever makes you happy - that doesn't include mugging little old ladies of course - and we'd be pleased to see your efforts.

Me too, would have looked good with the right figure looking out of the turret.

[Tim Marlow]

Yep, caricatured commanders would look superb....
