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.

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!
