Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Redleg, donkeys… we were hungry, we had fresh meat. Fighting the KDF is so dang difficult.
NH-90 painted by the KDF, captured by Columbian Army. I am working on the blades, touching them up.
UH-1 Huey Helicopters I have always like the look of the Huey, even as a kid. GHQ’s look great, IMHO.
The 4 Hueys painted by Mick. The 8 Hueys that are closer I added dark green, black, and the windows on top of the olive green base that 7.62.
The 4 on the left by 7.62, I only added the window treatment. (I did not run the color scheme by my wife).

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Trying to create some remote control ABV, dozers, etc.
My beginning of the process. Have styrene, will need to use camo netting on top. That will hide any blemishes.

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Thank you Mike, appreciate that.
Boxer IFV for the Commonwealth.
Pictures are great aren’t they, show the flaws … did get the wheels painted properly, did this years ago. Should I go look for that Boxer to finish it off ‘cause if I do I may find several more that need work….
Here is my Boxer

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Abrams TUSK.
I cut out the .50 CROWS, then added the dark tan, black, and many of the ERA blocks have other colors beside olive drab. Have tan, faded olive tan, dark green, and a couple other colors/shades.
I have a bunch more to do adding the other colors on the olive drab.

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Great looking tanks Chris! I like all the variation you add to the vehicles in your collection. Great looking French gear too!

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Took the turret off the M-41, then took the turret off the AMX-13/90, putting it on the Hull of the M-41.
It will be the SK-105 TD, armed with 105mm gun.

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
I love the action shots, Chris! And the TUSK tanks are pretty cool - I may need to acquire some in the near future.

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
A thought that just popped into my head..... I remember 25 or so years ago a Canadian guy was training at Camp Blanding, in Florida with his unit and others. He had said that he knew Canada was testing the M2 Bradley. He thought they might use it as a 'tank'. I was thinking at the time use them with Leopard C-1, then Canada started to acquire Leopard 2 of various sorts for use and parts, but never deployed the Bradley. So for 20+ years I had a Canadian group with M113, LAV-25, Cougars, Grizzlies, M-2 Bradleys , Leopard C-1 and Leopard 2 (later). Since then reallocated much of it, sold some. Estonia has their M-2 Bradleys, some M-113. Don't recall where the Leopard 1 and 2 went. Gotta find them, put them on the chopping block.
I may need to check on the B-70 for a large flying formation, when I get back to Bama.
