Those German and Soviet collection are huge! I'm tempted to picture mine as well... :-)

The Syrians are great. I especially like the BTR's, nice camo and nice vehicle, I really like his balanced appearence.

Military vehicles are beautiful because they are built from functional designs which make them real, solid, without artifice. The short timers

Hi Cama

That is really great work on your '73 Arab-Israeli stuff. I do like the BTR-152's very much as well.

Thanks for the good comments about my German and Russian collections. I have to concentrate on Russian infantry next. Will look forward to seeing the collections of others out there. :)

Your collection looks great Allen. I really like your storage boxes and wish that I had seen this video a few months ago before spending a lot of time on adapting some plastic boxes to store my miniatures. I'm still thinking it would be worth starting again with some of your boxes.............. :roll:

they are nice storage boxes i have several an love them! Well worth the money.

Allen a couple quesitons real quick.

Your long boxes you store your aircraft in are the cut out for specific aircraft? Im getting a large GHQ collection of WW2 aircraft an trying to figure out a new way of carrying them to an from games?

Also do you do custom cuitouts for your boxes if asked for by your customers?

an finally whay rules do you use for modern MBT warefare? An anyone else i would like to do some modern warfare, but mainly I'm a WW2 nut, just wanting to know some options for Modern

I have not done any cutouts for the aircraft boxes yet ... I really need to do that though. Right now I just have my planes sitting on top of foam sheets.
fullmetaljacket wrote: Also do you do custom cutouts for your boxes if asked for by your customers?
Yes I have in the past. Sometimes people write me and ask if I can do certain size cutouts and then I just add them to the list of options on the site. If you want something very special I can do that too as a custom job ... just write me privately and ask.

I have a very highly modified and modernized version of GHQ/GDW's Tacforce. The rules were published in 1980 and I think they are great rules,,, they were only published for a short time and were never updated. I have been updating the vehicle and weapon data ever since I bought the rules in 1980.

GHQ's Modern Micro Armor the Game is a fine set of rules but I do not use it because I prefer rule systems where one vehicle = one vehicle (rather than one vehicle represents more than one vehicle,,, like a platoon or company). Also I've looked at Fields Of Fire by Proving Ground Games and I like it very much. I've also heard good things about "A Fistful of TOWs ... but I do not know anything about it.

Thanks for the pics Luca. I had not noticed that GHQ had Russian Cossacks. Might have to paint some of them soon.

Nicely done Luca. You've some really well painted figures there.

Any chance of some more close-ups?

I'd like to see some close-ups of your Panthers and MkIVs - they look good and some are in an ambush scheme?

I see you have all your models on bases. I am shifting my position on this, in the past I have only based infantry but I am moving to base more and more now. They certainly look good like this.

PS. There seem to be a little group of blue-coloured models right at the back of the early German force which aren't based - maybe Sdkfz 7s. Or do my eyes deceive me? :)
