Tony's Workshop
Registrace 8. 12. 2022
Hi and thank you for visiting my Channel. In my fifties now and completely new to CZcams, for many years have enjoyed making/restoring furniture and building scale models in my workshop. I have a background in Architecture and as a result built many static scale models of buildings in the past.
This took me naturally into a great hobby of designing and building dioramas for models. I simply ran out of space and sold off most of the models and dioramas built over many years, including large dioramas for the 6 inch scale Star Wars figure series, planes, large scale static train models and some WW2 vehicles.
Never having been into RC models and with my workshop relatively clear again, I have decided to embark on a new challenge; building large 1:6 scale tanks and models. The first of which is the Armortek late Variant Tiger 1.
Follow me on this new journey where I have to learn new skills to overlap my existing knowledge and experience which I hope also helps and inspires you.

More great work, and thanks for not skipping any stages with a "here's what I did" Blue Peter approach, I really like to see the warts and all approaches to these videos... "Keep on a troshin" as they say over here in Norfolk... & see you in the next one
Thanks Martin. I am glad to hear that. 'Troshin" thats quality 😂 Hope all is well. Back on my Series 1...Cast now off, but my videos are lagging two weeks behind. Managed to re-start the series 1 this weekend...slow progress as my arm is still recovering, but glad to be back on it.
Hi Tony - it's all helpful. Thanks
Good to know Gerald, thank you.
Hi Tony been thinking how to keep your parts / nuts to your finger try sticking a small peace of double sided tap to finger
Hi Steve and thank you...A good idea...Not sure that would work for me, but happy to try this out. Thanks also for watching and supporting my channel.
All coming together nicely, 👍👍
Thanks Aus, much appreciated. Hope all is well.
Fantastic transformation in this session. Looks like more than a collection of random black plastic parts now. Looking forward to seeing more progress to come! 👍
Thank you...it is moving on quite nicely. Engine in soon and testing...super buzzed about seeing this start up for the first time. Hope to also re-start my Series 1 this week and videos re-start in two weeks.
Hi Tony looks like you have more movement in your wrist doing a great 0:13 job only one small thing please stop saying sorry we all understand as they say we are only human loving all your videos keep up the fabulous work thanks Steve scale modeller 👍👍👍
Thanks Steve...I have had the cast removed now, but still painful....healing apparently can take a further 3 months. Hope to re-start my Series 1 later this week, but my videos run 2 weeks behind. Thanks for your continued support.
Actually love this would love to see an update and by chance where was the tyres from
@@kiew3965 thank you.. full build on my channel in long form video content, and will resume build when my cast is off. Two weeks time I will be re-starting the build. Tyres are marked Dunlop and supplied with the kit from Armortek.
Is it me or does the front suspension and steering look far too over engineered? I think this kit has more to it than my 70's Mini Clubman! Anyway, for enjoyment purposes, the more parts, the better I say... 😉
@@MartinFutter70 it is quite complex but engineered to withstand the abuse it’s going to get😂
Good work sir 👍. Is good seeing a box full of screws watching them disappear quickly. Tamiya use blue thread lock ,I've built stages wrong and have to strip down and start again several times 😂😂.
Hi Steve, great to hear from you. I agree...very satisfying....I am enjoying this build very much and excited about getting the engine installed. As soon as this cast is off, I will re-start my Series 1 which I am also looking forward to. Hope all is well and thanks again for your continued support.
incredible workmanship, stunning model
Thank you...Glad you found my channel and hope you watch my other many builds.
The part scale at the side reminds me of my old Tamiya instructions, I'm sure they had pictures at the correct size to help you find the correct pieces. Good start so far Tony, but I can feel your frustration at being one & a half handed 😆
Thanks Martin...The instructions are quite clear and easy to follow...dont know why I was so apprehensive to start with🤣 One arm in a cast is not easy, but soon it will be gone and I will be back on the Series 1. Hope you continue to enjoy this build and thanks for your continued amazing support.
This was a fun video, hi to Tony, John is a friend of mine. I was going to attend but family matters got in the way. Agree with your thoughts on teaching young folk about real hobbies not jist soshul meeja. All the best 👍🍺🇬🇧
Thanks Carl, glad you enjoyed the video...it was a good day..hopefully we will meet next time.
Looks like a humongous piece of kit! I'm looking forward to seeing how this kit comes together
Hi Martin and thank you...This is a real monster, but a joy to work on.
Seems like a great kit supplied with tools but it looks like it needs calipers etc to build it
It is a great kit and yes you need a few extra tools, but quite inexpensive. It is a well thought out build kit with no issues other than understanding the sequence...The parts go together really well. Thanks for watching and commenting...Hope you stay for the whole build.
Understandable, this "side" build, although it doesn't look that less difficult from the Armortek build ;-) Get well soon and keep up!, Looking forward to see the Land Rover completed and beyond that, very curious of what comes next... A leap in time to a Leopard 2A4 ?? (wishful thinking ;-) )
Hi Leon...Trust me...a lot easier...no filing, fettling, sanding, drilling, prepping or painting...just a bolt together kit, but still very challenging in that the builder is challenged to build everything, every screw, washer, gear, etc...I am enjoying this, but looking forward to getting back on my Landrover. Have a great rest of the weekend.
please be carefull with the thread locker if it gets into contact with the plastic will start to eat in and plastic becomes very brittle and shatters voice of i did it
Thanks Alan...good advice...thats why HPI only advise use on metal parts and very rarely & sparingly.
All going well, building is the best part, errors happen but quickly sorted. 👏👍
Thanks Aus, hope all is well.
Don’t stress we love your content, and your building skills. We don’t think about your arm . You build better with one arm than I do with two arms 😂 but no matter what I always learn something new from you. So keep up with your work 🛠️
Thanks Martin, that is very kind of you. Thank you for your continued amazing support.
Tony: Hang in there my friend, it will get done even with the two of us with only one good hand and arm working. I can't wait for this to get finished and wonder what your paint scheme will be, one color or multi. Looking forward to your next installment.
Thanks Bill....agreed....but determination is the key here isn't it? They provide two body shells...I plan to pay homage to HPI with one and paint it orange, but the other one is going to be a camo scheme in line with what I really love to do...Have a great weekend Bill and thanks again for your amazing support.
Hi Tony, I've built a couple of these, and it's easy to get ahead of yourself. I saw the video with the Pershing at the park, it was great seeing it out and about. I hope your wrist is mending nicely. Have a great weekend, cheers!
Hi Michael, Yes easy to build but you are correct...very easy to get ahead of yourself as you will see on my next couple of build vids. I did enjoy the model show and it was great to show off the M26 in public for the first time...it proved very popular. Wrist is on the mend and cast off soon🤞 Thanks for your continued support and have a great weekend yourself.
Oops! Sorry to see you have broken your body! I'd have thought it would've been down to being run over by your tank, in some kind of 'tanking' incident. Anyway, joking aside, nice progress despite the obvious impediment. Fractured my left wrist just short of my 40th birthday, so I know just how much a pain in the arse the inability to do normal day to day things are, especially when I'm lefthanded, but thankfully ambidextrous. Well-wishes onwards to a speedy recovery 🙏
Thanks Martin and great to hear from you. I had to stop on the series 1 as I could not go forward with my wrist in a cast...The next step of the build involves a lot of fettling and modifying, so not ideal...I started an 'in between' project on a huge 1/5 scale petrol Baja which I was given to build and this is a lot more straight forward, as it is a bolt together project...This is keeping me occupied whilst waiting for my wrist to heal...Hope you tune into that build.
The tank looks amazing, perfect for a model show, thanks for the video 👊👍
Thanks Daniel...It performed well...Thanks also for your continued support
Looking good Tony, markings worked really well, sold a few sets thanks to seeing yours.
Thanks Paul...Good to hear from you..Could do with some help for a Tyre pressure stencil on my Series 1.
Hi Tony enjoyed the video and share you sentiments get well soon i need a Land Rover fix....👌
Thanks Alan...I will be back on the series 1 as soon as I am out of this cast.
Another great vidoeo Tony...lucky you didn't break your right hand......
Thanks Brian...absolutely...I would have been in a right old state....Hopefully losing the cast soon and back on my series 1. Thanks also for your continued support.
I had flashbacks there to trying to load the tiger into my car😂
😂
Yup, mind your hand. All fun and games until someone looses a finger nail. 😬
Thanks J...honestly, they would not listen...until I told them that the tank weighs nearly 100kg and little hands would not fair well against the tracks...on the whole most of the kids just wanted to look at it driving around...even the big kids😀
the youngster, crawling next to the 1:6 pershing was giving a lot of attention to the tracks and suspension; maybe you planted a seed in this youngsters mind ;-)
Hi Leon...I had to remind the Mum that this was no toy, but her little boy loved it...so did his Dad🤣
Great fun thanks Tony
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching
😂
Loved the video
Thanks Mark....it was a great day out for the M26.
Hello Mrs Tony , great to see the 26 out and about, it looks amazing.
Thanks Russ, much appreciated.
By buy
Did look a good day ,some talented builders there. Like you said was nice and good to see 👀 young people there 👍👍 . Nice to see the boss , bit of a joker ( badminton jibe ) as well 😂.
Thanks Steve...lots of young, hopefully budding builders there. It was great to see the M26 entertaining the young crowd rather that just sitting in my workshop. You picked up her little jibe then🤣 Thanks for watching and continuing to support my channel.
I had the same feedback at Militracks this year. So many people taking pictures and film of our tanks at Armortek Hill. Really enjoyed the enthusiasm of the visitors and intend to do it again. Good luck Tony and hope to bump into you one day at an Armortek function.
Hi Keith....as you know....these tanks are impressive and people love to see them operate. Working on the early stages of my tank zone plan and will update on the forum soon....would be great to get a lot of the AT owners there when ever I get it open. Thanks for watching and supporting.
The funny thing is that the kids would be more impressed by a cheap rc truck with a red plastic bucket over it and some wobbly eyes on the front.
😂 so true...
Just like the real thing, something always fails requiring field repairs. Nice to see the Boss getting involved 👍 Totally agree with you, I got back into tanks and models as a way to lift my mood during a big health scare during covid. 👍👍👍
😂..it's always the case...I checked everything on my bench before the show and then it decides to play up as soon as it was off the ramp...Hope you are ok now...and totally agree about the therapeutic values of this hobby. My Baja build has helped me deal with the restrictive nature of my injury and would have struggled to get through these weeks without having that distraction. Thanks Aus for your amazing support, it is very much appreciated.

😢😮
Tony: Looks good and can't wait to see it run about in your yard.
Very good hope you didn't use your bad arm on it 😢😢
This is well before I broke my arm...just forgot to upload😂
Not the first set of instructions one has seen 👀👀to be incorrect ,well spotted sir . Multi purpose tool very good ,a lot of thought gone into the manufacturing . Like your E clip pliers 👍👍 sounds like SWMBO put y'all on the naughty step for bustin your wing 😂😂😇😇👍👍.
Hi Steve....My wife has also put me in the dog house...I am so grumpy about this.....just trying to keep kit in my 50's! I have to say...the build quality on this HPI kit is impressive...for the price. Thanks for sticking with me mate...much appreciated.
Cool, wish my Kubelwagen was a that speed as it goes like race car 🤣
Very good 👍
Thanks Tony, enjoyed this one. You’re building a precision bit of kit. Special e clip tool - rubbish 😂👏👍
Thanks Aus...🤣 I did see your email...and sorry for delay....great kit you have there.
@@tonys_workshop cheers Tony, I’m on with a bit of weathering and kitting it out. 👍
With all the parts that look like need to be pushed in, and with your bum hand, I think you should have some bandaid on hand! Nice video as usual.
Thanks David...will be back on the series 1 soon🤞
Tony is a special guest at the Harlow Garden Center in Harlow ESSEX if you want to see him and one he's tanks...please pop down from 11-3
hi tony, some nice new tools, you can never have enough. the baja build reminds me of all the tamiya kits i have built, kyosho kits are similar. i have been watching a few builds of the CROSS R/C kits and would be keen on those, they have some very cool military trucks and accessories. hope the wrist heels soon. cheers
Thanks Trevor. I am enjoying this build and learning all the time. I cannot wait to be out of this cast though ans get back to my series 1 build. Have a great weekend mate.
7:02 why glue the bearings? Are they not a correct size and fit?
@@Cranky301 This is what Armortek recommends.
Let’s go tony!!!!🎉
I’d feel much happier using blue thread lock as I always find the red stuff is too fierce.
I tend to agree, but I prefer the red thread lock and if I do get into trouble a little heat softens it to allow removal. Thank you for watching and commenting.
😎very nice ,have heard of Wheelspin models didn't know they were in Cannock 👍👍 Removal company broke my monster beetle been after a body brace for yonks gonna scope em out 👀👀👍👍.
Hi Steve, good to hear from you. It is a great bit of engineering from HPI...If you cant find what you are looking for for your beetle on their website, call and speak to either Simon or Rich and they will try to help...please mention my channel if you do. Hope you do find it mate. best regards...Tony
