The Duke Finishes Six Armor in November
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2023 2:33 am
During the two weeks leading up to and including Thanksgiving, I snatched every opportunity to go work in my Hobby Room. The result was two finished aircraft and these six armor/vehicle models
First up, for a little splash of color, is this ancient PST 1/72 scale Russian PMZ-2 fire truck:
Next are two Russian heavy tracked guns from ACE. They are missing a couple parts each but until I can find or replicate them; I'm calling them done. No need to keep them on the shelf of doom waiting for one or two parts when they look complete enough.
This is the ACE 1/72 scale Russian Br-2 152mm Heavy Tracked Gun. The tracks are not glued into place so they shifted a bit as I was taking these pics. Also, I had to come up with a new aiming scope since the one tweezer-pulted off into Oblivion, so I scratched a new one. Until the other shows up, it's gonna keep that one:
The next is the ACE 1/72 scale Russian Br-5 280mm Heavy Tracked Gun. A couple pieces missing again, but it looks done so it is done... for now:
In keeping with the Russian theme, I decided to bring this shelf queen over the finish line instead of waiting for the parts for the SCUD C to come or be found. This is the Modelcollect 1/72 scale Russian SCUD D:
The next finished model is the ACE 1/72 scale Israeli Centurion Sho't Kal Gimel, one of four Israeli Centurion variants put out by ACE:
And finally, this last one is number six for the month; but number 890 in my entire armor/vehicle collection. This is the Takom 1/72 scale M1070 Gun Truck looking like she just came back from a long convoy protection mission:
And that is all I have for today. I know some of these are not finished, but they are done. I have to find a place where enough is enough and I can move on.
Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.
