Oh it’s just wonderful to see my Mam about town.  Were is he can I ask ?

Northcentral Indiana on the Michigan border. South Bend, IN a couple hours east of Chicago. The beach pics are from Lake Michigan, one of the great lakes. The tower building was nearly one of those sky rise ghost towns, but fortunately a Greek company bought it and just had it repaired, now the Aloft Hotel. You can just see the Golden Dome of the University of Notre Dame. The South Bend Cubs single A baseball franchise. AM General, home of the Hummer and the Studebaker Museum...I had forgotten all about Fozzie...


Thanks!

Where... did... you... find... a... 1:6 scale Panzer tank? Suddenly I need one of those more than I've ever needed a toy, doll, hobby, or action figure accessory!

Of course, when I find out how much they cost, that compelling need might become slightly less compelling.

And the jeeps! How many? And where do you find them?

Pretty amazing motor pool!

It’s really nice to see that my scotty mam is being escorted on the tour of Gibs motor pool by two GI Joe classic collection from the 90s.  Wow Gib’s HQ sure has a variety of different vehicles. I bet my Mam loved the tour.

Hoots mon! Ye'll be needing a translator! Trying ta understand him will be mudda!


..what a motor pool! That pile of dusty jeeps!



The 1;1 ain't bad either. Is that a '70 model? I'm not sure but it's cool that it's painted 'British Racing Green'!

Another great adventure for the traveling mam! and he got to visit the motor pool too!

I understand the need they aren't inexpensive... It was a kit from Field of Armor. They closed up after a couple years but somebody picked up the plans for the kits and you may be able to find one. I paid around 5-6 hundred. Where it really went over the top was in the add-on's, accessories, I don't even want to know how much.

But the best 1/6 Tanks come from the UK, made out of metal, weigh around 300 lbs, cost a few thousand...but they are R/C.  

Jeeps came mostly from other board members at the old FHQ. Some from Ebay. Kinda hard to do deals like that over the Atlantic. But I did get the Landy from Andy King here at AMMO.

Thanks,
Brian

Thanks Dal!!!

The tank crew are some impressively detailed figures!
And another tank! Man, I love those tanks!
The collapsing set flat is hilarious!
(It also gives us a chance to see "behind the scenes of the scenery!" I thought it was a full-on build, but it's just a flat! Very impressive workmanship!)

poor old mam and the newbies! Its a very impressive motorpool bri! and it looked a lot of fun all round!

Gib tour part 2 was great to see the pictures and the end parts made me laugh.
