I'm glad we don't go hunting together. I would hate to carry your ammunition.

Thanks, guys!

I suspect you own one of those and have spent the last 10 years modeling it- am i right?!
Nicely done.

Not really
But I have been working on and off for about a year, mostly because of the HD failure
Luckily, there were plenty of spare parts from scrapyards

I am finally getting around to looking at your model closely.

You must have one of these things in your back yard for reference. The detail is amazing!

[numbthumb]

Thanks. I intend to simplify those tiny parts, because they are "spares" from my previous models - I guess that chain links for instance, could have far less segments.
What do you think?

Hehe, no, I used walkaround pics from the military museum of Montjuic in Barcelona and the Naval Museum in Tigre, Argentina as a reference.
Plus some of my own taken at Vierville-sur-Mer & Arromanches couple of years ago during my trip to Normandy.

nice to see someone getting pleasure from the modelling, not just the renders. excellent work - your massive input is worth every minute!

shanks for sharing

Simply amazing. Seeing this makes me want to stop my helicopter and start something new!

[numbthumb]

Thanks for the flattering remarks, guys.
@ liam887: funny, I was thinking the same thing. I mean, to start a helicopter project

If you guys combined forces you would have the ultimate in military-geekdom (I mean that with absolute respect): the helo-mounted 88! I'm sure Jerry Bruckheimer would drool at the thought of it...

[numbthumb]

I never thought of that - an eclectic approach indeed!
That thing would beat the cr@p out of those post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" vehicles.
Thanks for stopping by, dsarchs!
