I try to keep tabs on the happenings in the large-scale model world and received some exciting news. Agora Models has announced final details on their newest large-scale build: the Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tank!
This 1:16 big-scale Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tank is fully remote controlled and includes the following features:

7.5″ (19.5 cm) Height
10 lbs. (4.5 kg) Weight – approximate
Remote Control Unit with 11 cm color video screen
Main lights, position lights and indicators all remotely controlled and/or automatic

62mm MG3A1 machine gun with sound effects
Metal tracks for added strength, durability and maneuverability
Each wheel has independent suspension like the real Leopard 2A6
Engine start/stop and running sound
Smoke vapor from the engine exhausts
Hatches slide open and closed, with removable commander
Hinged side skirts can be lifted for easy access to the wheels and tracks
I have had many visitors ask about the tools and supplies that I use to build my partworks, so I have created a ‘Shop‘ here with Amazon links to most of the items I have used along the way. All proceeds go towards supporting my site costs, not for profit. I hope you all find this helpful!
It has now been almost two months without a delivery of my Ghostbusters Ecto-1 build up by Eaglemoss. Customer Service told me last week that all stages (59-62) of the next issue are out-of-stock with no ETA. It appears we are in a holding pattern again.
UPDATE Mar 16 2021: Stages 59-62 have now shipped and should arrive shortly.
