Add antennas on the Abrams. Found a better paint brush. I do wish that the bristles were soft. Some are too long, a few have popped out.

Nice Chris!

Love the close up pics and the 'in terrain' pics. Really adds something. Busy highway for sure.

Well done on the antennas! Something so small but it adds to the finer details!

Looks like an air strike waiting to happen!! I agree - those shots in terrain make the models look even cooler. Chris you must have a ton - how many minis do you actually have???

I like the antennas, I have never found the patience to put them on there but they are a nice detail that you guys add.

Need an automation convoy, Chris.

Now, the lead M151 is required to have a sign that says " CONVOY FOLLOWS" and below it on the same sign, "COLLONNE ANFANGEN."

Signs like that were usually made by the garrison community cimmand, which hired local nationals (Germans, in this case) to perform such tasks.

When you request your signs, don't make the mistake one new, non-German-speaking LIEUTENANT charged with sign procurement did. On the request form he wrote "CONVOY FOLLOWS.". Below it, he wrote " SAME IN GERMAN. " Guess what his signs said when he got them back?

British Challengers and MCV-80, recon, mortars and TOCs. I painted these when I thought the Birts used the 3-tone NATO camo, they do not. Although it took me a year or two to learn that as several recon vehicles used by other countries were in 3-tone NATO. So I moved these to an Imagi-Nation, Camastan-dom.

Cris, from where did you get the Brit engineer vehicles in your second to last pic?
