Hello all, nice to meet ya! [TANKS]

["Shaun Ryan" <krasie_monkey-at-hotmail.com>]

Hello gentlemen, allow myself to introduce... myself.   I just recently 
became and avid fan of your website and now have joined.  For the past year 
or so, I dabled into elec. r/c 3d.  The sport wasn't going so well and I 
have always had an affinity twoards the ground based military actions in the 
past century.  I have always liked any sort of r/c no matter what form, 
however tracked vehicles have always caught my eyes like a deer in 
headlights.  The past 5 mon. or so, I was introduced to Tamiya tanks and I 
have been looking for info about my first purchace into 1:16 scale.  I feel 
this is a good scale to start on, I've been a modeller for longer than I can 
remember.

If anyone has any info on Tamiya tanks.  Specifically the original Tiger I,  
the tank is in good condition (apparantly runs, its on co-signment), it 
looks well taken care of greased and cleaned. However it's not the Full 
Option,  I'd like to know if there are still replacement parts and if not 
how easy to scratch-build, as well if I can still get hop-ups like the main 
gun recoil component, battle system and what have you.

Also too, if anyone knows of clubs or gatherings in the GTA, or somewhere 
around Toronto

Thx in advance
Shaun
