Thanks to everyone for the great comments! It really feels good to have my work appreciated. Too bad I don't have a decent enough camera to take pics of my other winged and hulled projects currently in progress as well as my Armor kits, but someday it'll happen.

cplchilly, I am definitely being careful there! I have a friend who's a long-term member of my IPMS club who's slowly going blind. He still comes to the meetings, but he can barely even see people, much less the models on display! I can see the pain in his eyes, since he's been building almost as long as I have.Disapprove [V]

Thanks Tigerman! Your work is incredible as it is, and always worth the wait to see! Now for my next magic trick.....Clown [:o)]Big Smile [:D]

Thanks Dave and Fightin Joe. I appreciate your comments very much.Approve [^]

Thanks wbill! I am definitely pleased with the results. Approve [^]

Thanks Gringe! wbill76 got it right. It is a modern German scout vehicle that is indeed currently serving the modern German Bundeswehr. They were deployed to both Kosovo and Bosnia. Generally, a two platoons of Luchs are combined with a platoon (reinforced) of the older Leopard 1A4's to make a scout company.

That Luchs is a modern West German/FRG unit. Still in service I think. The name "Luchs" is German for Lynx, also shared by a WWII vehicle.

Very nice work duke! The repairs/revisits look like they worked out very well.

Two More Completed Kits. Finally!
Posted by Duke Maddog on Friday, July 23, 2004 9:24 PM
Well, I finally finished two more of the 1/72 scale Armor kits I started awhile ago. I also added a bit more drybrushing to two others that I'd completed to make them look better. Here are the results:

Here are the two models that I improved a bit with some more drybrushing:

1/72 scale Revell/Germany Challenger I:



1/72 scale Revell/Germany Leopard 2A5:



I have two pics of my 1/72 scale ACE SA 13 Gopher Mobile SAM system to show how effective my repairs were.

The first pic shows it in traveling position:



The second pic here shows it in firing position:



That must be what an A-10 or helicopter pilot would see just before the thing fires! Evil [}:)]

{I know there is no crewman inside; I'm trying to find an old T-34 tanker half figure that I can stick inside. One of my old Esci kits had head and shoulders of a tank commander to mount in the commander's hatch on the turret; I just need to find one. When I do, I'll put him inside and show off the model again.}

And finally, my 1/72 scale Revell/Germany German Spahpanzer Luchs:



Now, if I can find the decals to my Monty's Caravan and Scout Car, and my MCV Warrior, and get a replacement barrel for my Bradley, I can get a couple more kits off my workbench and onto my shelves! Angry [:(!]Black Eye [B)]

I hope you like my latest builds, I shall post more when I get done with more projects! Wink [;)] Big Smile [:D]
