Hey all!

 

Here is some more armor I managed to finish up recently. I'm finally getting a chance to post it.

 

First off, my Russian Army is taking delivery of two more 76mm guns. These are the two ACE guns I was building in 1/72 scale.

 

Here's the Russian F-22 76mm gun:

Next is the Russian F22 USV 76mm gun:

Next is my US Marine M-26 Pershing. I'm not too happy with the weathering on this yet; I may do a little more to improve it. For now though, it is finished:

And finally, my British Army is taking delivery of 'Cuckoo' the captured German Panther:

Pssssst.....Duke,

 

They all look great and I know you work in that wonderfully incredible braille scale.....but two 76mm field guns don't REALLY count as armor. That is kinda like calling a WC-51 a tank!

 

HAHA. Keep 'em rolling!!!!

Duke,

 

Love all your models. You scare me, when you say that you added a couple of whatever to you Russian Army, or Britsh Army. You really mean it. If model collection were to go at each other, you win , hands down. I am amazed at the quality and volume that you continue to put out. Not to mention all the different subjects, i.e. aircraft, armour, etc. Great job, keep-um-coming.

 

I just read a story about the, "Cuckoo" in the latest AMPS, "Boresite" issue. Interesting subjuct. It was a German Panther Ausf. G used by the British 4th Armoured Battalion. They used it for several months until the tank broke down. Neat subject!

Thanks Mark! Unfortunately, we don't have an Artillery Forum. :smiley18: I guess I'll have to start naming my Threads "Ground Equipment" or " Army Equipment" then. :smiley20:

 

Besides, didn't they put boxes over those trucks and write "Tank" on them back in the day when doing maneuvers? :smiley17:

 

 

Thanks Chris. Give it a bit of time, and you'll really get frightened. Tomorrow, (Friday) I have a friend from AMPS coming over for my assistance for a special SoCal Boresight issue. We are going to be taking a picture (or five!) of my entire completed armor collection in one spot! He's bringing over tables to put them all one and once they are laid out, I'll take a position behind the tables and we'll shoot the pics. Once the Boresight issue is published, I'll post those pics here for those not in AMPS. They will be huge sop free up some bandwidth!

 

 

I also had read about 'Cuckoo' awhile back ago before the Boresight issue. I'd been working on it long before that article came out, but it still helped. I've been wanting to do that for awhile and finally I got it done.

 

Thanks guys for the great comments and compliments. Stay tuned for more....

Really looking forward to the photos Duke.

Thanks Chris. The article has to come out in the Boresight magazine first; then I'll be free to post any pics used by the mag. Otherwise, they may get upset. Give me a couple months.
