Number 670 is Completed by the Duke. >NO PICS<

Post by Duke Maddog »

Well, I finally made it to 670 armor models finished, 30 more to go until that magic number of 700 is reached!

Here it is, the RPM 1/72 scale Renault FT-17 tank in US Army markings. The weathering isn't as visible as I'd like in these pics, but I think it looks pretty good in person:

This little beastie was built OOB and that was tough enough with 28 pieces per running gear assembly!

Here it is sitting in the Mack Tank Transporter that I'd built earlier to hold this:

That's all for now. Thanks all for looking in, comments are always welcome.

Kidding of course..... :drum:

Awesome idea putting it up in the truck. It really gives things a sense of scale. Must have been pretty cramped in that bugger....I think you probably just lost some of the weathering in the color cast of your lighting. I think it looks great though...and I really like the dusting up on the truck too.

700 by May? :hmm: :ballbat:

Thanks Jim! I think you'll be suitably impressed when I get pics of the whole 700-count collection.

And yes, maybe 700 by May, we'll see....

Thanks Lyle! That means a lot to me.

Not yet Owl, give it a few months. Right now it's only 670. If you want to see pics of my armor collection when it only numbered 545 models, check out my introduction post; I believe I posted that pic there.

That looks great Mark! Only 30 more to go? So what, about 5 more "hobby day" sessions and you'll be there? :hmm:

About time you got this sucker finished for your Mack :stirpot:

Thanks Carlos! Quite possibly five more Hobby Days, depending on how much time I spend on the Saturn V. And I agree about getting that puppy finished for the Mack. For a while their during the running gear assembly, I wasn't sure I'd ever see this day!

Thanks again, stay tuned for more.

Thanks Portman! I appreciate the compliment.

Yeah, it's at 670 now. If you want to see my collection when it was at 545 models completed, check out my introduction post; I posted a pic of the entire collection there when it numbered that many. I plan on doing it again when I reach 700 completed models.

I really like those odd, small tanks, you've done a great job on this one. And... 28 parts on the undercarriage?? Sounds like 28 opportunities to mis-align something to me! :)

What's with the magic #700 ??
