This thread is for Large, static or operating/radio controlled, military models of various types.
Not the smaller scale models I typically nuild in 1/30 scale for ships, or 1/72 scale for aircraft.
I will start the thread with a couple of examples:
First, this video and comment first posted by newbird on the Type 052C/D thread:
Then, there is this video about a very large (31 feet long) HMS Invincible, operating aircraft carrier. I have contacted the man who built it in Scotland. it is currently stored in his barn and he is hoping to donate it to a Museum:

And finally, this static 1/72 scale model of the USS Enterprise, CVN-65. All scratch built. Tjis model is mostly metal and weighs over a ton, and fills up the mans living room/
These guys in the tank video, the man in Scotland, and this guy with the aircraft carrier all have a great passion and they have acted on it and produced very neat results. I respect all of them greatly for this.
If you know of other such projects, please post them here...or discuss what these people have done.

I know some like making models of combat ships. The guys in the attached video made truly awesome tank models, including Tigers and other WWII German Tanks. They pay so much attention to details. Hope one day they will also make models of 052D and J-20.
