M3talpig 4,748 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 1 hour ago, Cerberus said: Were you thinking of a Takom T29E3 maybe? yes i was but it might be a little boring...as i will be doing it as it would have been seen during mobility trials at Aberdeen proving grounds...which means boring ole olive drab and no markings to speak of.......the thing is i don't do paper panzers and if i do do experimental vehicles they have to be done as they really appeared ....no fictional paint or ficticios scenarios ...i don't have a problem persay with it but my OCD will be screaming in my ear "this didn't exist" all the time im doing it. I love what PanZair is doing with his and i wish i could bring myself to do something similar but i just can't....and yes before you ask this is something that does affect my everyday life as well and drives my wife bloomin nutz 1 Link to post Share on other sites
