Hi Panzergator!

I'm glad you like them. They are a great gift from Begemot and I hope to get them into a game in the near future.

I did not know that 2/33 actually had the M-103 at one time. I did know that our sister unit, 3/33 Armor had the M-60A2. I actually had a guy come in my store that had been in 3/33 when they had the "Starship".

It started out as 899th Tank Battalion and was re-designated 2-33AR.

I AI'd on a section gunnery range with a 2LT by the name of Flynn from 3-33AR. We had in common both being M60A2 platoon leaders. He wore the old "pickle" Armor branch insignia, 3-33 being the only battalion so authorized, as it traced its lineage back to WWI. That was in Feb-Mar, '76.

Miss those days. I envisioned my whole life alternating 3-year tours Stateside and Germany. It worked, for a while.

Here are 4 GHQ Elephants from my German WWII collection. I would love to see GHQ do the Ferdinand as well.

Spectacular work!

Man the bar keeps getting set higher and higher.

Clearly I need to up my game!

But I'm trying:

Pete, looking great as always.
Cav, really like the decals, especially on the Leopard 2 A6.

Like the panzers, too.

Pete - Nice herd of elephants. They should be watchful for poachers.

Thanks for the honor posting pictures of the M60A3s. I forgot what they looked like.

Thanks very much, Cav! Very nice work on the Modern Germans! What did you use for the crosses? I got some recently from I-94 which look pretty good.

Thanks very much Panzergator and Chris.

Gorgeous work. Makes me feel so inadequate and inspired.

Very nice work, Pete!

Thank you very much, Redleg, Guroborov, Cav, and Begemot.

No problem posting your stuff here, Begemot! It is great to have it and show it off here. I will post some more of it. Remember, in the German Army, its the Elephants that are supposed to do the poaching. I had fun doing them.

Here are my current crop of StuG IIIs. These are all StuG IIIGs and a couple of StuH 42s.

Thanks all - Pete, the crosses came from Miscellaneous Miniatures out of northern VA. He doesn't have a ton of 1/285 or 1/300 stuff but it is quality work. He turned my order around in a week.

The 1.15mm crosses fit the Leos and Marders perfectly. He also makes them smaller and larger if necessary.

The decals on the landing craft below are from his PT/Landing craft set:
