I don’t believe they have the equipment to have it fitted as such.

That was an amazing build. From start to (almost) finish. Might have to pick up a Pz I from the hobby shop this weekend.

Scale modelling and scratchbuilding 1:1 scale! Great to see all that work done and the solutions they come up with!

My God, and we think 1/35 scale indy track links are a pain in the ass! 1:1 is a LOT harder!

And those are little bitty tracks. Try working on something big, like an Abrams, Leopard, Challenger, etc.

And the last instalment sees the little Krupp sports car painted, ‘armed’ and ready to take on the public for Oz armour fest.
I think we can agree the guy’s have done a wonderful job.

I worked on ITV’s and Bradleys. Those were enough for me.
Really an excellent looking restoration. Those guys can work miracles.
The Panzer I came out amazing, albeit some historical inaccuracies on the vehicle. That being said, the OZ Armour guys did a wonderful job putting it all together and making it work as well as it is.

On the last weekend in August annually, the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum runs its annual Ausarmourfest weekend where all manner of creatures - Panthers, Firefly, Kangaroo, Leopards - lope around the track. The sound of the crew winding up the Panther to get it started is phenomenal.
If you go for the Commanders Deck tickets a workshop tour is included where you get to see much more than is broadcast on its Workshop Wednesdays.
I’ve attended that event three times in six years and there is something new and exciting every year.
Pick your time to go to Cairns though. October through March is the wet season with a high chance of Tropical Cyclones.
