      What do you do if you won what I won?

      I went to the IPMS 08 Open here in Sweden, and took home 2 Gold Medals and 1 Bronze medal. If that wasn't enough. I also was very surprise after winning two special prizes. 1. a Peterbelt Truck and the mother of all prizes...A 1/6 Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.B armor tank. Talk about flabbergasted. My first thought when I walked up to recive it, I the hell am I going to get it home? I took the wife and kid with me and believe me there was no room in the car, if you include my seven models. Well, that is another story all together. But seriously, I've never built a WWII tank, let alone in scale 1/6...Ha Ha Ha... To make things even stressful, the whole audience wants to see it done by the next IPMS, which will be next year....oopps. I don't think so.

      Just thought I'd share.

      Well done! That's some big box! You & Polux ( Pink Panther ) should get together as he's building the same kit

      Cheers

      Charles, if I won what you won I would be ecstatic.
      saying this if i produced the quality of model you do I wouldn't be far of ecstatic either !!!!!
      exceptionally well done sir you deserve the awards.

      Well Done Charles. Well deserved as well.
      So thats going to be your first tank then. Look on the bright side, pleanty of room for detail and extras! My question is are you going to build a transporter for it

      You speak for yourself Ron! Me? I'm turning green as I write!

      We've seen those builds before Charles so no need to comment on their quality again, but many congratulations on your wins.
