That was easy... voted for the Achilles.  Because I believe there has been no WIP on the new kit here in the FSM.  Free internet?  I'd rather to get a free beer... Beer

If the Achilles wins (and, barring a major rally from the Panzer IV, it looks like that's how it'll go), I'll do a WIP thread on it. Don't expect glorious scratchbuilding craziness - I'm still very much a rookie when it comes to armor - but I'll do my best to do the thing justice!

A little brass cowbell would be the finishing touch, sitting alongside some spent ammo & other crew items. It can be your new signature, a cowbell hidden in every finished kit!

With the crew items? Nah, dangling off the rear hitch!

Now I have to figure out how to scratch a cowbell. Thin brass sheet and one of those push pins with a ball head? Maybe Hobby Lobby sells really small bells. Hmm...

I vote for more cow bell!

But seriously, I voted for the Achilles. Looks like a cool piece of armor that I've never seen before. So do me a favor and build it, thanks. You can donate my coupon to a charity of your choice.

Well, the Achilles is blowing everything else out of the water so far...guess I'll be overcoming my fear of painting up a vehicle with an exposed turret!

And I may just see about putting a cowbell on it somewhere, just for kicks!

YESSS!!! A free internet for me! I'm in Canada - does this offer still apply to me? We generally have to answer a skill-testing math question to "earn" the prize rather than just have it given to us. Weird, considering you just know everyone goes for a calculator!!

I threw my vote in with the Achilles. I usually lean towards German armour, but I like the sharp lines on that thing.

Help me choose my next armor build...
Posted by DoogsATX on Thursday, February 17, 2011 10:08 AM

The dark side is addicting. I'm itching to start another armor build, but I can't decide between my stash, so I'm open-sourcing the decision. I've set up a poll on my blog to help...

http://doogsmodels.com/2011/02/17/help-me-choose-my-next-armor-build/

In return for a vote, I'll be giving out one free internet! Many thanks!
