Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Repaint, rework vehicles. Broken barrels on sold old Bradleys have re-equipped with ADATS.

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
That's one of my bugbears - the lack of seated figures for various armies/nationalities. In an ideal world every nation (etc.) would have a pack of seated figures in 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-figure strips.
Additionally, I'd like to see tanks with separate cupolas/hatches. I.E. each tank hull would have a slight hollow at every driver/hull machine gunner etc. location. Turrets, likewise would have a hollow at each hatch/cupola position. There would then be a sprue with closed hatches/cupolas and another sprue with them with an appropriate amount of figure emerging from it.
Wishful thinking I know...

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Appreciate your thoughts. I do understand that every item cannot be produced, the breakeven point is too high. Then managing many more SHUs makes it much more difficult for a business. They are options out there.to consider.
So, here is eye-candy.
CV90 twin 120mm mortar
M2A3, not always sure best way to paint the ERA on the Bradleys.
Miscellaneous items….

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
Chris Camouflage….
These vehicles are a WIP (work in progress) for their camo.
These are spray paint with Testers Olive Drab, which is water based paint, so priming first should help the paint remain, then seal it.
This Dark Tan is matched to the Model Masters Dark Tan, even though it is Interior paint matched to color, I used H.D., could use Lowe’s, Ace, etc.
My paint should last a long, long time before I run out. Someone suggested I provide more info on this quest. Maybe another thread.

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
In my storage unit, a box had this resin home with walls. It was broken into a bunch of pieces, si I glue the pieces together on a double layer of clear plastic. Plan is to prime next day or two.

Re: Chrisswim Stuff.
The two Abrams on the outside just gassed up in town. Now deploying in northern Monacodom with a TUSK that just received its camo netting.
