Interesting collection,

You may want to add a wash to bring out the details and weathering always helps a tank look its part!

Funny how 'factory fresh' paint on real tanks looks more like plastic models than most of the plastic models posted here.

The fourth photo down.....WHAT IS THAT? Looks like either the chassis from a Bren Carrier or the French small two man vehicle (don't know the name)?  Sure is different looking.

Could be used in some of the Futuristic weapon models.

Praying Mantis

The idea was as an armoured MG post, both the driver & gunner lay prone, vehickle could stay behind cover & the mg turret would raise like scissor legs. Not taken any further
