Scale Model Group Build, anyone?

Lert: My four 1/16th scale tanks, showing off the size difference between
them and how they just grew larger and larger over the years:
The first one is a Heng Long Pz IV Ausf.
F2, 14.5" hull length, and is in quite a sorry state. It needs
minor repairs, camo, weathering, wash, detailing, tools, stowage,
decals, a matte clearcoat and a new electronics package - the old
one is malfunctioning, it doesn't respond well to the steering
anymore. The second one is a Heng Long JagdPanther, 17.7"
hull length, and is nearly done. I've already replaced the
nylon-gear gearboxes with metal-gear ones, added stowage, engine
vent mesh grills, repainted and weathered. Just needs decals and a
matte clearcoat. Third one is an old Tamiya Tiger II, from
the 1990s, 18" hull length. I've done extensive modifications to
it, replaced the old single-motor clutch drive with two separate
steel-gear gearboxes, replced the drive sprockets, replaced the
plastic barrel with an aluminium turned one, scratchbuilt a barrel
mounting, added a barrel elevation system, working headlight,
replacement metal exhausts, replaced the tow hitches, repainted,
applied camo, weathered, applied washes, stowage, engine vent mesh
grills ... Just needs decals, a matte clearcoat and a new
electronics package to get it mobile again. Last one is a
Torro Leopard 2A6 with steel-gear gearboxes, 18.8" hull length.
Just needs weathering, a wash, decals and a matte clear-coat. Plus
need to paint the commander figure and maybe add some stowage,
maybe a camo net wound around the barrel. .... yes, I like
German tanks. How'd you know?
Unfortunately, in my
situation it's going to take a while getting them all done - better
part of a year, if not more. Especially the Pz IV is going to be a
long time before it's finished.
