Thanks Brian
Actually, the halftrack and wheeled version of the last monster are one in the same model with a few changes.
It most certainly would not be newbie armour me! Besides soaking in the general atmosphere, I'm too busy just trying to figure out how you do it!
Oh don't rack your brain over it, second vehicle is a WW2 vintage GMC 6x6 truck with a WW2 vintage Russian T70 tank running gear.It most certainly would not be newbie armour me! Besides soaking in the general atmosphere, I'm too busy just trying to figure out how you do it!
Front suspension fitted with home made lift kit with 1970s vintage Russian armored car tires and wheels
Next "Homemade Halftrack" coming down the pike will be 1970s vintage M35 6x6 cargo truck with a lengthened
chassis to accommodate a full Panzer II running gear and a raised front suspension with oversized tires and wheels from
a British "Staghound".
Oh! and by the way it mounts on the back the deadly German 88mm just for kicks.
Just needs some finishing touches and to be photo-ed and posted....If I can ever get around to it.
Now that spring has sprung there is much to do around the farm even though Mother keeps trying to
hold me back, afraid I will push myself too far. But Hey! I'm a grown ass man and I know when I've
enough to drink! er....ah...I mean work
Next upcoming will be an Ural 234 6x6 mounting a105mm howitzer, truck is built in stock form.

I have completed the Ural 6x6 with howitzer mounted also a 6x6 GMC turned halftrack with Panzer II running gear mounting
a Flak 88mm gun.
Just need to weather them up a bit and take pics and post, but have been sidetracked with major health problems
and other distractions but will try to get them up soon, please bear with me.
