RE: Tank Expo 2006 [TANKS]

["Doug Conn" <dwconn404-at-comcast.net>]

I'm happy to see Steve is importing those geared scooter motors. I was
considering buying a couple from Oatey, but shipping charges from Australia
to Pennsylvania were a killer. Hopefully the economies of shipping scale
will help US tank builders. Steve, are those motors coming from Australia,
or from the manufacturer (China, I assume) ? Any idea on the price ?

        Thanks,
        Doug

We had another great Tank Expo on the shores of the Chesapeake, with 14 
people attending throughout the day.  Anvilus Industries and Tyng Tech 
both unveiled new products to help reduce the time and expense of 
building an armored vehicle.  See:

for details, photos and video clips (more on the way).

I am also pleased to announce that Rick Schultz's fully operational StuG 
III has been officially designated as T043.  You can see Rick's 
excellent work at:

Definitely a good start to the 2006 battling season.  Hopefully we'll be 
posting similar reports for meetings in Canada, the Netherlands and 
Austrailia in the near future.

Get together and have fun shooting each other or just shooting the 
breeze, that's what the hobby is all about.
