The Duke Finishes Six Armor in March

[Duke Maddog]

It has been a tough month for me, but thanks to Hobby Days, I was able to get these models completed.

First up is one of the three large trucks I started a few weeks ago.

This is the Trumpeter 1/72 scale US Army THAAD system that my wife bought me:







Next is the Trumpeter 1/72 scale HEMMTT Tractor with the TPY Radar System. This was a Secret Santa gift from another Forums:







This and the THAAD are designed to work together. This next model is the Trumpeter 1/72 scale US Army Patriot PAC III system. This is another Secret Santa gift from the other Forums:







This fourth model I got in trade from a friend on the Braille Scale Forums. It's the Armory 1/72 scale MGM-52 Lance:







This fifth one is a model I'd been dreading working on, but I was determined to get it done. This is the Tiger Models 1/72 scale Marine Corps MRAP:







Finally this sixth one is the Pegasus Hobbies 1/72 scale German Maus super heavy tank. This is also number 950 in my completed armor and vehicle collection:








And that's all for now. I am hoping to finish a few more models this month so stay tuned. More to come.

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Very nice builds, Mark!

950!!! Holy Smokes!!!

You are “da man” Mark



I really love your “duck hunters” here… Great stuff, but the Lance is pretty kick a$$ too!

Just a thought, but on future projects like the MRAP with lots of similar surface detail, would you consider doing a pin wash to accentuate all that detail?

Awesome builds all around Mark Having done some work with the MDA previously, I fully approve of the Patriot and THAAD.

[Gary Brantley]

Amazing work and production rate, Mark! Great builds, dude!

[Duke Maddog]

Thank you Tom!

Thank you Carlos! Yeah, 950, I'm really looking forward to finishing more now. To be honest, I did do a pinwash on the MRAP and the trucks as well, but I think the overall dusting with the Tamiya weathering powders covered up too much to be seen. Maybe I'll try doing the pin washes after the dusting....

Thank you Stuart! I do love those trucks too!

Thank you Gary!
