[fumblethumbs]

Oh yeah! Got it spud. I hope you are able to round up the kit you're after!

 

[spud]

so do i because ive aquired all the other parts needed !

Hey guys, bad news. I have had to rethink my battle strategy on this one. As I already have limited modelling time due to school and other committments, I have decided to withdraw from this brilliant group build unless circumstances change :-\ I was really looking forward to trying my hand at 35th scale armour, but it seemed like taking on a tad too much ??? Right now, I am on standby for this GB, but it's unlikely I'll squeeze in unfortunately... Unless I enter a 1/72 Jeep which came with my F-51D... : I'd love to be a part of this but current constraints are keeping me out of this one. For now I will be looking on from the sidelines, sure there'll be some epic builds here! Sorry guys.

P.S. Go for the ambulance fumblethumbs!

MA ,

It all Good Bro !! We'll be here if your schedule let's up. Cheers !!

SPUD,

Oh Dude !! I really hope that your LHS comes through with th parts you need. Did you order th Plus Models conversions for th Gun Trucks ? These were some Awesome Machines in th 'Nam !! A lot of Fire Power !! That's what I call an Escort !!

 

[spud]

nope but ive ordered the other bits n bobs needed, i can make the srmor plate from sheet styreen, but if the conversion isnt too costly ill prob get that

 

[schweinhund227]

yeah.... those M-54 Guntrucks Conversion kits can be quite costly !!!

99 Euros... OUCHIE !!! but not everybody can schatchbuild so... there is a Niche for that to I guess ?

Later !

 

[spud]

Ya that is costly, I think the armor is the main bulk of scratch so it won't be too bad

 

[schweinhund227]

some of you might want to pick up a few of those Mini Guns for your Gun trucks...

a must in 1/35th.

[spud]

i ordered some stuff from spurbrothers a few weeks back and came across them. i think i will add 1 or 2 tomine i must look into it a bit more and see how many they had

 

[schweinhund227]

In the movie posted a little higher there was 2 mini guns on that truck.... One on either side!

 

[spud]

ah then ill be getting 2 of them

 

[Elm City Hobbies]

If I remember correctly, I think there are 2 guns that come in the set.

I wish Legend would do those same mini-guns in 1/48....got a UH-1N to convert to a CDN Griffon, and they had a minigun on each door of them in Afghanistan. The kit comes with a pair of miniguns...but the detail sucks on them, so a set of Legend resin ones would be awesome!

 

[spud]

i think im going to scratch my one the converson sets are pricy. but them mini guns are defo going on my truck

 

[Chris S]

Man ...I still aint got anything sorted for this one :....Hopefully I'll pick something up at Euro next weekend !...Just dont know what to build ??? ???

Chris.

 

[spud]

how about going for somthing Bold like an arty piece

 

[Chris S]

Yeah thats a thought Spud ,havent done something like that in a while ?

Chris.

 

[spud]

i have the tamiya howitzer and tractor that i nabed for 25 quid but cant seem to get the urge to build it. i might one day but right now its at the bottom of my pile that about to get a major pile on up if my lhs ends up with all my back orders soon

 

[Junkie]

Same here...no idea what to build for this one. Gotta come up with something....

 

[Chris S]

(((lol)))) Yeah Im really lost on this one :, Im sorta hoping when I get to the Euro show something will jump out at me ...we'll see !

Chris.
