Shell Welder Coastal Tanker 1/130
sandsmodels replied to Jeddahbill's topic in Ready for Inspection - Maritime
really nice job on that, i had a novo kit given to me many years ago and that was badly moulded. i still have about 5 of these to build by eastern express i was going to use on a model railway dock layout. not sure what to do with them now? -

"Into darkness" M12 GMC
sandsmodels replied to THEscaleSHOW's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
nice work -
really great model, the rubicon kits have come on a lot, the m54 6x6 truck is lovely.

there was a running article in the tankette, the mafva magazine in the late 70-early 80's might be worth getting some they had scale drawings in them of various improvised armour of the home guard.

1/35 British Terrier Digger - Scratchbuild
sandsmodels replied to Kipsley's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
nice job, scratchbuilding is so satisfying but getting all the details right is not always possible so you can get away with leaving things off, most people won't know all the details anyway. looks good so far i want to do one in 1/72 at some point. can't wait to see it finished. -
smart work

Suitable 1/72 Sherman to help upgrade M36 Jackson build
sandsmodels replied to phat trev's topic in AFV WWII
the m36 jackson was based on the m10 which was based on the m4a2 diesel engined version, then later some were based on the m4a3 chassis and then the turret was just added to the m4a3 hull complete, nothing to do with the m3 lee or grant. the most glaring parts missing from the armourfast m4 ranges is the lack of rear ilder axles and exhausts but these are available after market. the best way to add detail to the armourfast kits is stowage and crews really, nice simple models as they are. -
Castlemartin Firing Range viewing point (Warren Tower)
sandsmodels replied to Jasper dog's topic in Real Armour
i was in the army cadets in the mid 70's and we had a 2 week camp at penally near the ranges, we spent a few days & nights wandering around the castlemartin ranges and was woken up one night by a load of antars pulling leopard 1 tanks around the road ways there, it was the hot year of 76. a 2 weeks i shall always remember being driven around in bedford RL's in the heat. -

Meng 1/35 M911 C-HET and M747 Trailer
sandsmodels replied to MRMRL's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
nice job -
yes saw the vid myself a while ago another myth is the lack of H.E. for the 2pdr, which is rubbish, just not issued very much if at all.

found it, about 2.08 in

i have just watched a y/tube video on the swiss panzers and there is a pic used showing a korean period cent with a closed cab swb gmc towing a 105mm gun, it looks to me like korea as the cent has a white star on it.

A Tale of Two Cromwells and a Comet 1B
sandsmodels replied to echen's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
yes psc models are aimed at gamers but lots of modelers do buy them and many do conversions on them, again nice model for those on a budget or those who want more than 1 or 2 the same. they have plenty of models planned.- 62 replies
