These toys are as big as tanks

MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) - July 13, 2009

Dave Shultz's hobby isn't easy to forget.

He usually attracts a crowd when his radio-controlled tanks start to roll.

But Shultz's models aren't toys.

The largest of his four R-C armored vehicles is about the size of a VW bug.

The aerospace engineer recently displayed his rolling stock at a Washington state park.

Shultz's tanks are not-so-miniaturized versions of World War II German and Soviet armor.

He admits to The Herald newspaper that his hobby is -- quote -- "downright certifiable."
