690 Now Done... Ten More To Go

Post by Duke Maddog »

With these three vehicles being finished, I am now ten models away from my goal of 700 finished small scale vehicles. I was feeling better today and since these three models were so close to being done; I figured it was time to get them over the finish line.


First up is my S Model 1/72 scale Russian BRDM with Konkurs ATGM. It was a simple little kit that I wanted to build to compare to the ACE model I'd done several years before. I liked building the ACE model better. Anyway, here it is all completed:

Next up are two Modelcollect models that I completed. This first one was the toughest one I've ever had to do, mostly because of the photo-etch pieces holding up the side armor; as well as the three-tone camouflage pattern over all that surface detail. I'm thrilled to have finally finished this up. This is the Modelcollect 1/72 scale T-64BV tank:

Finally, there is the Modelcollect 1/72 scale T-90MS I built alongside the T-64BV. This was a fast and easy build compared to the T-64, despite the metal lower hull. Gator Grip Glue from Kenny did a magnificent job of gluing the plastic parts to the metal hull with great strength. This one makes my count 690 completed small scale vehicles:

Okay, now that these are done, I'm going to focus on the buses now to complete them. I'll also be starting the Japanese GSDF Patriot PAC-3 launcher while also trying to move on the Shturmtiger I started some time ago. Stay tuned for those coming in the next update. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Congratulations Duke, 10 to go indeed!

So specal or almost weird looking the Russian BRDM, with those small wheels between the main ones... really special.

Curious and exciting to see what that 700th will be!

Thanks Kari! I'm also excited to see what the 700th one will be. Right now I have at least six more vehicles in progress, with a couple more starting.
