hehe, fellow collectors. I see a thread has been opened! I'm on the McLaren subscription so can't join much on this one. A bit overload collecting two range of products from DeAgostini sweat.gif

gonna pick my poison on this one...only those models which are nice, and interesting topics in the mag. Bought the 1st issue anyhow coz its on promo. Btw, does anyone have a list of topics for upcoming issues?

you should link those comments on the 1st post for easier reference. Anyway I just read somewhere that they have 120 issues planned pending rights for the tanks. Its not just 100 issues smile.gif

Here's the link, also has photos of tanks collection thus far. Don't scroll down if you don't want to spoil the fun smile.gif - http://tankforum.model-space.co.uk//yaf_po...--03092011.aspx

When will #2 be out?

Funky: How come no background.. o.O since behind the background actually contains stats for the tank. The one i bought from Borders@Mid Valley comes with one.

care to share some photo of this? The one I bought from - Ikano MPH, doesn't have.

I read somewhere there's 120 issues = 120 tanks. AllScript Malaysia confirms 100 only so far.

I'm sure there are better videos...this doesn't look that nice.
My technique is melting the plastic with solder to replicate bullet damage..then paint over it.


Added on April 25, 2012, 9:19 pmwait, before I can do anything I need the triangle screw XD

do upper body first and see lor...maybe lower body can do light damages which do not require melting plastic.

Btw, I got my second Tiger Tank (with the card) and noticed the tank cannons are sideways on this one...and the bottom casing is grey instead of black. Second issue also same...looks like those with cards have grey casings.

If you have friends working in property development, once project finished and sold out they may have scale models to dispose. Can get some from them to chop chop into smaller sets. Just a thought.

They have 2 version of 2nd issue. With and without background. Same as 1st issued. Don't know why they released it like that. May be with background is old stock..

Don't mind the background, some of the models are different quality.
I have two Tiger tanks
1 - turret can stay if I set it facing upwards but changes direction rather too 'loosely'
2 - turret cannot stay on upright position (like spoil) but changes direction like a brand new model
