Very nice - you have a diverse range of models in your pile!

Oh, a bit of everything. And a massive pile of WIP's :D

Picked up some VC MMG teams for Vietnam to convert into M-60 teams, only to realize I should have been looking at LMG teams for that. Oops.

Well,when life gives you lemon, I make Partisans.




New head, some greenstuff, condensor can....just needs some cloth belt and a upright sight. Now I only have to convert a MG-34 for them.

Also got the Vietnam Command Bunker and removed 1/3rd of the resin from it.



So I can rework it to my liking. For starters, it will be lined with oil drums, and get a blastwall in front on the door. The radio antenna will be on a slot on base.

In a attempt to fight the urge to buy new stuff, I just grabbed some stuff from the WIP drawer.



In the end, I selected the speakers, made some final changes to this 2015 model, and went to town.






Speakers and most of the pole done, cables, and concrete is next as well as the plate covering the hole in the floor.

I should really follow your example! I have tons of WIP stuff to finish.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

With my thumb surgically removed from my butt, I'm getting more done even with a constant pain in my hands. As long as I don't have to lift, or clamp down on anything with my hands it's quite manageable (unless the exam at the hospital this afternoon tells me otherwise, it feels ok-ish)

Made 3 rows of toilets.


Grabbed a box of Desert Buildings that have been sitting there for 3-4 years now and airbrushed a basecoat and did a test with zenithal lighting (?) a wall to see if I like it. Want to get them done and move on to the rest.
