I still do, indeed. Everything is still there, just a scar where my thumb print is.

I left the dried blood stains on the floor of my shop as a reminder to keep focused on my task.

That's unbelievable with the small tool, any idea of what scale Wayne?

It is 1/24th scale Vic.

Next up a damaged Panzerkampfwagen

[Gnomey]

Very nice!

 

[Crimea_River]

I'm really liking that.

 

[Airframes]

Very well done. That ain't going anywhere without the help of the Engineering Abteilung !

 

[Matt308]

Love the rocks!

 

[Crimea_River]

Had me musing though how the broken front section of track ended up the way it did. The back makes sense if the vehicle was moving forward when it took a hit but how does that explain the section on the ground being ahead of its mate in the rear?

As the vehicle has front drive sprockets, the forward, upper section of track would continue to be driven, until falling off. However, that doesn't explain how the section of track is so far forward from the lower break, at the (presumably) removed road wheel and return roller. Maybe the 'Plastic Dak' heaved and dragged the track out?
Being really pedantic, the guy sitting on the rocks, if a trained soldier, would never lay down his MP40 in that way, as the ejection port would be in the dust!
Still a very nice cameo though!!

[Matt308]

Or camel dung fires......

 

[Migrant]

Blimey, tough crowd Looks great to me, especially since I can't paint figures to save my life...

 

[Airframes]

Only light-hearted criticism! The model itself is superb, and I guess our comments are only based on experience of real-life situations, though maybe not WW2. I've seen many really excellent models which, when set in a diorama, have had just a 'little something' detracted by a very small lack of authenticity regarding the scene being portrayed.

 

[Wayne Little]

Don't know the type of vehicle in this one...

 

[Airframes]

Neat. It's a FMC M113 APC.

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!
