The Duke Completes Five Vehicles in June

Post by Duke Maddog »

Thanks to a few days of productivity, I managed to get a few models done for my armor collection. Unfortunately, some of these pics didn't turn out the best: my new camera lost the auto-focus function so I have to make do the best I can in getting things into focus.

First is the Vespid Models German KF-51 Panther, the newest tank in the German Army. And now one of my newest tanks as well:

Next is the Italeri Italian Ab-40 Autoblinda modified for railroad use:

Image

Image

Image

Next up, my Meng M2A3 Bradley with the BUSK III upgrade:

Image

Image

Image

Next is an ICM Russian ZiL 131 truck with a DShK machine gun mounted in the bed:

Image

Again apologies for the bad pic. This was the best of the ten or so attempts I made, yet this shot is better for some reason:

Image

Another ten or so attempts later and this is the best one of the bunch:

Image

Finally there is the ICM trailer that was described as being used for a mobile office, ambulance trailer, portable workshop, command trailer etc:

Image

Image

Yes it looks like the roof is loose. It is.

Image

This is why the roof is loose, so I could show off this. I chose to make this a portable workshop by adding some resin factory equipment inide:

Image

And now we can show the truck and trailer together, even though they weren't necessarily paired like this. Still, it looks good! '

Image

Image

That's all for now. Maybe I'll get some other armor done this month but we'll see. For now, my apologies again for the pic quality; comments are welcome! Thanks for looking in!

Thank you CB!

Thank you Carlos! yeah, that Autoblinda is a unique thing. I'm glad I got it done.

Thank you Stuart! I'm real pleased with that truck and trailer myself. It was fun adding an interior to that trailer too.

Thank you Bruce! The camera is not an Iphone camera, it is a Nikon D3100 that my wife bought me from Amazon. They claimed it was new, but it's a refurb, it came with no instruction booklet. It worked fine until the last time I recharged the battery and put it back in again; then the auto focus just stopped working. Lately I've been having the worst trouble with cameras, my last one given me by my nephew was a ream, but that auto focus stopped working too.

Yes Bruce, and I was able to buy another one which came in Tuesday. I've already tried it out and can't wait to edit and post some new photos.
