Military

[zebrathree]

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.

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

[zebrathree]

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

[JTRACING]

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

[sjelic]

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):


Tamiya M48A3 tank from the Vietnam war:

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?).

[zebrathree]

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

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.

[zebrathree]

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
