Hey, I met him when I was visiting UK recently and he isn't any different to the rest of we gamers!! lol


Best thing about Mad Bob is  he is such a nice guy. 

Unhinged, but nice.
Cheers,

I don't see what's wrong with that. You'd destroy your cannon's wheels towing it at motor vehicle speeds. Putting your cannon on a trailer is quite sensible.

I have stuff from his Normandy Kickstarter. I was quite pleased with it.
Here is a photo of some of the vehicles finished:

The Lt vz-35 finally arrived and I have to say I'm very happy with it. A slightly grainy texture but not rough and some of the minor problems that rounded surfaces seem to present to 3D printing. That's been fixed with a little light and judicious sanding.

Very clean casting, essentially a two piece item, hull with tracks affixed and separate turret plus separate main gun, hull and co-ax machine guns. Could do with some tools for Czech service so I'll have to dig about in the spares box.

Overall, a really lovely little model, well detailed and requiring minimal clean up. I would highly recommend Mad Bob's models on the basis of this.

Many thanks to all who gave me the steer towards Mad Bob.

Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
