Models I'd like to get me 'ands on!

[Collin]

I like the more unusual, but BIG.:icon_lol:

Railway guns are the flavour of the month at the moment. There's a few "Leopold" K5 of various scales and manufacturers and also the heavy mortar mounted on a railway carriage for travelling.....but...


There's only one 1/35 scale Dora.:kilroy:

At over 6ft long, 13 inches high, and 8 inches wide, with a barrel length of 36 inches, 2500 parts, this thing is HUGE.

The price you say?

Well, its gotta be quite something..

The aluminum replacement barrel is $300 (£176)...

Anyone got $669 (£393), thats cheapest so far. This price does not include post and packing/courier delivery or import taxes.:isadizzy:

Anyone got a few bob they can lend me?:costumes:

regards Collin:ernae:

Thanks Snuffy....I had conveniently forgotten about that English group, but now you have resurrected the memories I'm reaching for the kleenex.:crybaby:

Think I'll stick with the 1/96 Cutty Sark and 1/4 Manga model.

All I gotta say is they have to have one hell of a garage to store all these toys!

Another justification of the old saying .....

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. :d
