Tango 1 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hello! Allow me to present a build from my good friend Eric. He tells me that his models are not good enough to show on forums and I disagree. So with his kind permission, I have photographed one of his favourite builds to share with you here. This is his 1/35 US Army M113 Bridge layer as used during the Vietnam War. As no current conversion exists to build a M113 Bridge-layer Eric had to make his one using an Italeri M113 APC as his base kit and he scratch built the entire conversion. He has set the model on a home made display base using Verlinden figures and plants from his own garden. Eric believes that not many people will like his work and I would love to prove him wrong as I think his builds are great. Give him some feedback good or bad-He's a tough bloke, he can take it! Here is the real life machine in Vietnam: And here is Eric's version: 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
