"Field Marshall" is not a U.S. Army rank, although Douglas MacArthur held that tank from the Philippine government. You are also referring to Doug's father, Arthur, who won MOH in the Civil War. You should read his biography - The General's General. "

My mother worked in the Dai Ichi building during the Mac era. She was the only civilian authorized to deliverclassified info to his office.

He had his good points and his bad points. His mother "ruint" him.

It is MacArthur, gentlemen you are correct.
Redleg, Iâ€™ve been painting over a week. Slowest camouflage painting for me that can recall. Ihadto try to keep PG, Begemot & Pete happy, to go back to improve the camo and my technique.
I appreciate the help guys.

Begemot,
I will do those 50 in 10 sets, okay?
I know. Wait til you see these, M1 Abrams with 105mm

Thanks to Begemot, he taught me everything he knows which I have applied perfectly.
Thank you guys.

M1s = 4tanks/platoon. Although I LIKE platoons of 5.

I am sharing hulls with the pictures I post a few days ago and these.
28 turrets, 14 with thicker barrels and 14 with 105mm, and 14 hulls.
Double duty for those hulls, but they do not get double pay.

If you look at the sample painted for the catalogue, the green used for it is similar to the overall color of early M1s in Germany, although that sample is a bit too light.

Very nice, Chris! Great paint jobs!

Attached trailers, changed a few machine guns, put on camouflage netting, antennas along with a few finished painting or giving a wash. Some of these were painted years ago.

Good looking trucks, Chris! What do you use for the bases?

chrisswim · Post by **chrisswim** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:21 pm

For the thin bases, I use plastic.
I use plastic from a package of tools. But I cannot buy all of tools.
Recently, strawberries come in plastic containers, us part of top and bottom. Have used blueberries containers, etc. Do clean, wash.
There are times I have used two layers of plastic. I have used even for buildings.
I also have used hotel door key cards,

These are plastic pieces I have used for bases.

Thanks for the tips and pics, Chris! I'm stealing the room keys when I check out tomorrow to use for bases!
