Hi, forum.
About me.
I am a 79/80 year old retired engineer.
My wife died three years ago.
She was also a modeller we competed together in Tug towing and Scale steering comps and displaying our models at numerous model shows.

Hobbies.
R/c Boats, mainly Tugs & WW2 Landing craft, scratch build.
Static military models 1/35th scale, anything WW2.
R/c tanks 1/16th & 1/6th scale.
3 1/2" & 5" gauge live steam locomotives.

After a three year break, the whole house can now be a workshop so back to model building.
So I'm giving R/c 1/14 Trucks a go.
I have started building Tamiya's Mercedes ACTROS 3363 6x4 Gigaspace.

I know how addictive any hobby can be, but this project has to be a one-off.
I once said this about R/c Tanks, that sort of expanded to six 1/16th scale.
Three 1/6th scale with two vehicles. And a wrecked wallet
