1:16 Gun Carriage Final update

Postby expat » Sat Mar 20, 2010 11:05 am

Time for the next project. This one is has been declared finished. I could do more, but this is more stand off scale......don't get too close when you look at it ;D I am pleased with the result, though I have no clue where to put it at the moment, space is at a premium for my creations :-/ Anyway, here it is. Comments and suggestions are as always welcome.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Beautiful work.  8-) I always loved scale models and miniatures but never really had the time or patience to actually complete one.

[color=#000000]Outstanding Matt. :) And the fire damage is so good, I have to ask: did you actually burn it?

I can remember whilst in the REME, in the British Army on the Rhine in the 1950s, we had these Half Tracks in our Workshop for working on Centurion Tanks, and their engines
They were fitted with Rubber Tracks, and not for use on Public Roads (Hard Surfaces).

Excellent Model, Matt....brings back memories!...;)...!

Excellent weathering!

Just one question. How did you manage to park it in that

well, you can always lend it to your local hobby shop. I am sure they would like to put in on display for you.

just a suggestion :)

I'd hate to have been in a german squad that came under fire of one of these.
