Military

Anybody else make tanks and stuff? I've just started an M2 Bradley w/troops for a 1985 Europe diorama. Was going to be an NZ LAV III, but realised after I took it out of the box that the M2 has tracks and the LAV wheels. :rolleyes:

So...anyone do this sorta thing?

I have make couple WW2 Planes many years ago

i've made a sherman tank, a land rover ,a hummer ,some planes, a few helicoptors, and a few navy ships
haven't done any lately tho

I'm after a Land Rover. What brand was it?

it was tamyia, 1/35 scale british army version , like this one

best choice would be Academy, Tamiya, Dragon and Italeri, they do lot of military vehicles in 1/35, but not around those for years.

I used to build mainly 1/35 armor before I got interested in car models.

Here's some of the models I've build, these are built somewhere in the 90:s when I was a teenager.

Bergepanzer IV, a Verlinden conversion on Italeri Pz IV:

Tamiya Tiger I mid production with zimmerit coating made with Milliput:

Tamiya Wespe, the last military model I've finished (around year 2000):

Tanks are pretty cool. I wouldnt mind seeing some built. Or even see some street version tanks built (but where would you put the fart can?). :lol:

Those are some NICE models guys. I'm not quite up to that standard of presentation yet :p

I especially like the SAS pinky and the M48. Very nice.

Do a search for "Willys MB" and "Something different" to find the ones that I've built. The Jeep is on hold for a little while until I can get some money for a new airbrush, but I'll finish it someday soon.

I have a Tamiya King Tiger I want to build really bad but I don't have the balls yet. The paint scheme and the Zimmerit is putting me off. That, and I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding a turned aluminum barrel for it.

I used to do military alot......this is all I have left though. Did this about 4 years ago.

The pics don't really do it justice.

No, it look like they don't!

King Tiger right?

I recently got one of those Toyota HiLux Custom Pick Ups (by Aoshima) for a present and I really hate the way people ruin an otherwise nice car (sorry, no offence meant). So, since I am supposed to write some sort of an article about the kit, and I can't give it for someone else to build it, I've decided to spoil it some more...
I am converting it to a Police Ram Vehicle and I am matching it with... a Panther tank. I must admit I like the HiLux on Panther tracks. Does it count as military?

Stick a .50 cal on the tray ;)

I like military models too...built these last year. I am now building a modern German Leopard 2 A6 main battle tank. :icon16:

Red X there mate.

...I am now building a modern German Leopard 2 A6 main battle tank.


That was my last armor model ( i think it was an A6). It still sits proudly next to a celica and a skyline.

I completed a Ural, A 10 ton transport, the tank, a huey, and an A-10a. I still havent finished the Korean IFV from 2 years ago. I never plan to.

Right, now someone sent this to me via REP.

I thought this was an AUTOMOTIVE model forum? People get bitched out if they ask some AUTO related questions, yet MILITARY models are OK?!? Nice model, wrong forum.

Now, do military models such as tanks and Pinkies not have engines? Where is the line drawn in such respect?

Whomever sent this, I am not the one who holds the god gun. Send it to someone else and don't do things in such an underhanded way.

Back to the topic. ToyTundra, how was the Ural? I would like to make some Warsaw Pact type models, but it's hard to find them.

Also, lets keep the discussion to land based VEHICLES eh guys? Stops the bitching that way.

Red X there mate.

I think it should work now.

Looking nice! The guy in the Ducky's pretty casual for a man in a war zone eh? Looks like he's out for a Sunday drive :D
