Armortek

At long last....our first 'Show'. Great day. fine weather and lots of interest in the Comet....including an old guy who had driven a Comet while on National Service. At one point after displaying the Comet 'sounds' I had a round of applause from the crowd....quite made my day. Bear with me while I t...

Hello John, I was a first time buyer about this time last year. I took the plunge and went for the A34 Comet. Tomorrow all being well, my wife and I will attend our first 'Vintage Show' in Shrewsbury Shropshire. The Comet will be on display in the Military Section. The A34 Comet is my first Armortek...

Hello Phil and Adrian, I also purchased the Pixie Suit with the later Dragon Terry Davies. I have boiled the suit and I have painted the suit, however the end result has not been good. So, I collected a few Dragon Douglas Kay and Dragon 'Fred' tanker bodies. I have cut 'Fred' down to chest level as ...

Hello Phil, I seem to recognize those tankers...I must check my crew just in case any have gone AWOL. The weathering is something I have real problems with.

Chocks in place....trial run soon...

Bostin' work Phil, any room for the crew :lol: I have run my Comet again....around the paved area in front of the bungalow, I noticed some very slight wear on the tracks...I will keep off the tarmac and stoney areas. I also spotted when turning on one track, how the other track goes very loose. It's...

Thanks John, the trailer is a left over when I sold my motorcycle. It was relatively easy to convert. I will let you know how the package behaves on the road. Great tiger build, I have been following your progress....Mick

Thanks Phil, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease at which the Comet climbs the metal motorcycle ramps. The motors have so much power, coupled with the engine sounds, the tank is really a joy to drive. The weather also helps, so I had a very enjoyable morning. The Iron Duke is safely back in the d...

Back on my feet...and feeling good

While bending down to take this photo.....I fell over...

Safely on board....
