Hey Neil, Your work in the hobby is definitely " the dog's boll..." ( I did some homework...) on several fronts.
>From a person that has built zero vehicles, I applaud your efforts in giving >the hobby a solid boost in your area. Building enough vehicles to create a >"match" deserves recognition. Reminds me of the extent I would go through to >ensure that a deck hockey game (hockey on foot, without ice, usually played >with a ball) could be had as I attended college.

Heck, I'd even play goalie, if it meant that a >game would commence. So I fully understand your dedication!! Secondly, your efforts with the school kids sounds brilliant, you are creating a legacy. I sincerely hope that those kids see it through, and some of them carry the torch. Thanks "Admiral" Rochford, for sharing your grand efforts!!

If you mean "how many tanks have you built" then I think its about 5 or 6. I have to be honest and confess that none of my tanks are of a very high standard. I just wanted to bang plenty out so that battles could start in the UK. I have 4 new tanks under construction as part of an enrichment program at my school where I now work. I`ll be posting progress this Christmas of the kids work. these will not be armed with paintball markers but NERF guns instead (for now with safety in mind). Im creating a new generation of tankers for future battles. They think Im a bit mad but they still turn up every week.
