discussion TANKS MODELS AN WHERE DO YOU PUT THEM WHEN FINISHED

[boatman]

you may be surprised that there is only 1 Stug?

On another not to be mentioned site, I did start a Stug fest, intending to build every version and some others with field mods also including history and explanations as to the differences as each version was built

but not sure if that would go down well on this site????
WHY not ? Bob as its all modelling an that's what the sites about an I love your idea of recyleling your models brilliant that way you get two models for the price of one an im not sure now which is the stug is it in the 2nd pic on the right ? as ive never herd of a stug till I came on here but many thanks Bob for postin the pics

My pleasure Chris, good thread to post by way

The stug is the well known Tamiya G, not accurate but a joy to build. Got three in the stash!! I find the kits are great to practice new ideas!

If there is enough interest i might re start the Stug fest!

Mine are all on shelves. I've only been building a couple of years, even so I'm already running out of room so will need to add more shelving soon.

Very impressive display, do you like dusting lol

Now that's more like it Jakko that what I was on about seein the models on show

This is just part of it, these are on top of the large, high cabinet in the living room, but putting it all in the photo would not show the models very well. I have more models in other cabinets, on shelves, and also packed in cardboard boxes in the loft.

that tank at the back second left with the big slab sideded turret must have been quite a target in real its a Russian isn't it ?

It is, yes. It’s a KV with Big Turret (that’s what the Russian name translates as — the slightly later variant was the KV-2, which looks almost identical) from the early years of the Second World War. Armed with a 152 mm gun to blow up Finnish defences, but as you say it was mostly a big target for German guns in 1941.

I have no interest in my models once they're finished, so at the next opportunity they go into the attic. However, I was listing some stuff on ebay and just for laughs I listed a few finished models as well. Made about £80!

[Si Benson]

Seems I’m in the majority. Once finished they get boxed up in the attic!

AN Pete that's a great idea sellin your models on ebay an that's 80 quid will buy you some more models so they are free when you think about it . But you like me I always sell my ship models when I get a offer I cant refuse an that's happening now as a chap wants my HMS NORFOLK but as I told him if I sell her I wont have nothing to sail an she is booked up to be in a model show. In a couple of months time an he also wants my HMS TIGER though im still building it but he said he would wait as he has bought my HMS AMAZON FRGATE ,AN MY HMS YORK ,DESTROYER ,AN MY USS NIMITZ he seems very keen on my models as a lot of people said they should have gone into museums.
but I don't think they are that good but just my thoughts on the subject
