I like the LVTs. And I hate to do this (nitpick, that is...), but the sandbags were (still are) actually a greenish color...feel free to flog me for my nitpicking...

But that little niggle doesn't take away from the great job on them. Well done!

No problem at all . I worked from a few B&W pictures so it was a bit of a guess - I may just give them a green wash sometime!

And finished up some recoilless rifle sets . Nice pieces from Simon at Full Metal Miniatures .

Firing , hauling ammo box and 4 moving the damn thing!

Yeah, those f***ers are heavy. Even the 90mm that I have experience with was not lightweight...

Nice looking minis, by the bye...

Yep thats right a B52 in this case 1/72nd . 32 inch wingspan 27 inches long !

I picked up a kit with missing bits to use as a shot down plane - to use for set dressing or scenario driver - I.e recover the nice new electronics kit etc . Turned out I was able to fashion the missing bits so have left it complete for now . Tthere are some commando raids on Thai airfields that it could be used on before I wreck it !

Wow! Very nice. If you used that thing for air support, the whole board would be Danger Close!

Nice model, you can use it when you want to end the game quickly

(opponent can counter it with some SA-2s though)

...I have to ask one question though: WHERE IN HELL IS MAJOR KONG?

I need to get a pilot with the appropriate hat . I did rewatch it while building it !

CapnJim · « **Reply #115 on:** March 02, 2023, 05:49:02 PM »

Pilots you can find. GEG's plastic cowboys for their Dead Man's Hand game have plenty of cowboy-hatted heads. Maybe you can pick up a sprue...

Next up an M50 Ontos - very nice little kit from Full Metal Miniatures .

CapnJim · « **Reply #117 on:** March 11, 2023, 04:51:52 PM »

Looks good to me!

Freddy · « **Reply #118 on:** March 12, 2023, 02:06:03 PM »

Looking cool!
