Hello!
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 26, 2007 1:08 PM

Hello everyone! I just recently started modeling in 1/72 scale though for the past several years I've been doing 1/6 scale. I've made the switch because I'm moving to an appartment this summer and needed a hobby that would take up less space, and money. (3 Italeri figure sets cost about the same as 1 cheeper 1/6 figure)

 At the moment I'm working on an American Civil War Artillery Battery. Here are some pics of my work so far...

I bought the italeri Union Artillery set with the 13 inch Mortar. Useful if I ever make a Costal Fort Dio or something...

Its far from finnished. I still need 2 more cannons, 6 limbers, and another 120 figures. Plus supply wagons.

Just wanted to show ya'll some of my work from my 1/6 ventures:

These are some scratch built items for a Hummer I was working on. The pics are kind of big so I put the link in to the photo instead of inserting the photo into the thread.

The gun mount is something to be desired in this picture, but its since been re built with more detail.

This is a bumper I saw in research and thought would be cool to put on the front of one of my Hummers (I have 2)

Bobby_P,

I love the 1/6 hummer, is it 100% scratch built?  If not, what kit do you use?

 Thanks!
