Hi Guys,
I need your suggestions on which transporter to get.
I'm currently stuck on deciding whether to get Tamiya's

Dragon Wagon

OR

FAMO & Tank Transporter

I know this is rather personal as individuals have different opinons. But it's greatly appreciated if anyone could give me suggestions as to which is a better buy.

Cheers,
SpiritsEye

For me personally, i think it looks cool.

All say FAMO...So to avoid being a sore thumb, I say FAMO!!....

Ike, u're getting the Famo troop transporter (tat I have) or the Tank Transporter? The tank transporter definitely much cooler, but i guess space will be an issue...

Im also running out of space.

What do you guys do with the really old models you've made?

For me, i threw away an Academy Pz IV... The vehicle is in my signature. I dumped it because i messed up while trying to do filtering technique on it.

I never tot of giving or throwing away any of my models..Seems so pitiful...the models that are screwed up usually gets a second lease of life..I either weather them heavily and try to cover the imperfections w/ stowage or canvas for example...Or I wreck it and make a damaged or destroyed dio out of it...For eg, my crashed Bf-109 dio...

Oh yah.. I agree with what Psyfool said.. you can use them and "ruin" them for Dios..

Smash them around, detach the parts.. let your imagination run wild.

haha i only just salvage the tools and some extras from a 'ruined' kit.

I think i'm gonna also chuck away my 3rd ever model, the DML panther A... Again, i'll salvage tools and tracks and also the turret. Thinking of using the turret and use it as PantherStellung (Not sure if its spelled correctly)

Oh well...
