Collection is spiraling down to just a few of the essential runners and shelf queens.


Have drifted away from 1/10 scale models towards more of the 3 speeds. Current projects include:

Tamiya Scania bodied 3 speed 8x8 truck.
Tamiya TG10 to electric conversion.
Kyosho Nitro Blizzard to electric conversion.
To prepare my new electric Kyosho Blizzard for the immediate winter.

I've also got various 1/35 scale Tamiya models that are either radio controlled (purchased that way) or are awaiting. These are great for me as I can use them indoors when the kids are asleep.

However, my latest discovery are the Siku 1/32 RC trucks. These are awesome and in my opinion very good value. I've just purchased one and I'm looking to buy another. Will have to clear out some NIB kits I'm never really going to use:

Tamiya Buggy Champ (+rc channel alloy wheels, ball diff kit)
Kyosho Blizzard nitro
Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero

Let me know if any of the above 3 are of interest to you.

Latest update: 05/12/2011...got a couple more Siku trucks...now have 2 x Scania dumper trucks, 2 x Man low-loader trailers and 1 x Fendt tractor front loader - all 1/32 with 2.4Ghz controllers. With these I don't think I'll ever use my Tamiya again...OMG!!!
