Beautiful tanks Chris!

[chrisswim]

Thank you Mike, Moving stuff around, came across 9 more….
They’ll be painted up properly.
I think I should read more, paint less.
Does an “Independent break-through Tank Regiment”, have the right ring?
.
Practice, practice… does the camouflage help? Does it make it more difficult to ID the vehicle type, blend in, determine direction, etc??







Fire support does help. I have learned that.

The return volley might make an impact.

Did some painting of several vehicles. It was suggested to produce an EM-50 for the President (or someone really important) so the EM-52 +, which has armor protection and the communication gear necessary.
So here it is.



Security for it has dark green in the lower reaches, grey in upper area, using Cougars (no, the 6x6 and some 4x4). The
Van is for food, Mobile Bar-B-Q and similar. Gotta keep everyone well fed.

Security a bit down the road. All grey vehicles also serve at a nuclear power facility. But today, for you we have a combined security detail.


The two Cougars near the shed have the emergency lights on top of their vehicle.

Nice tanks Chris!

[chrisswim]

Thank you Mike. Pleasure as always to see you kind message.
***
Defense Minister Wilhelmina addressed the need for further development of the Leopard and successor. The Bundeswehr is deploying these tanks to defend against any attacks from any country that deploys the KF-51/ Panther, A/K/A C1, and the Evil
Empire (EE). Biggest issue is the threat posed by that EE to the East.
Here are a few recon pictures of the EE.

Lookin good Chris! If only a forward observer had eyes on that road with all those tanks!

[chrisswim]

Yes, if only there was an FO or drone…. Thank you.

Scotia Ratel hull with GHQ turrets. Improve the look tremendously. I create the terrain, well put it together.
Bought materials, painted, flocked, glued, hot glued, etc.







I have trees from an inch up to 6 inches in height, maybe 7 in.

[chrisswim]

Thought I had posted these, but don’t see it.
Tank haulers based recently.


Some of these I finished painting yesterday afternoon or this morning.



For the JLTV vehicles, used armored m.g. buckets, snipped the hatch off. I need to go back to put more green on these.



Wheeled vehicles, there is one 5-axle Hemtt with a trailer. (I may ‘need’ to use four to make three more)



I have a few more to post later.

These two were 3-D printed, at a loss of what to put in there as the cargo.
So if you have an idea, let me/us know about it. Think I may want to do two, I am thinking the the cargo should fit from one upright to the other.



These two were 3-D printed, I may have picked these up in a group of micro armor.



The two MAN tow vehicle were part of a micro armor group I bought.
I painted the one on the left. The one on the right painted by someone else, he has ‘mud’ on and around the tires.
The two Hemtts in the back were set up for a cargo of some sort by me, that I have yet to do. I do have 2-sleds with cargo that I can utilize.

[chrisswim]

More logistical vehicles. Just painted last few days the containers. Black washed some, May do more/the others.



These two trucks have the cover from the new Russian 8x8. The top is a Tartar 813, 3-D printed. The other is a Hemtt.
Logistics… baby!

[chrisswim]

Logistics: Containers for transport, storage or a wall/obstacle in a FOB.

Repainted these from dark green to medium green with Model Master Med. Green spray can. On my last can of this color (boo hoo).
14 M1A2 commander w/.50, 14 with TUSK bucket. Will be in NATO Camouflage soon.

Finished painting these 5 M-2 Bradleys in MERDC.

Hello Chris, lots of nice stuff. Thanks for sharing.
If I may ask, what are these? What's their function on the battlefield?
