This is a 1940 Motormax Ford pick-up I repainted for US Army use. LMK What you think.

1940s US Army Truck

I used some Dollar Tree ChapMei knock-offs to make this Cowboy Wolverine. The horse is a really cool piece, that I found at Tuesday Mornings. It is articulated and has Rubberized hide, that hides the articulated skeleton.
LMK What you think.

I found this Trashed Kubel at a Toy Show, and picked it up for $10.00. I had to make a new windshield for it. This was my first attempt at salt weathering. LMK what you think.

DAK Kubelwagen

I posted some preview pics of this tank about a year ago, I finally got around to taking some dio pics. LMK What you thinks.

Here is my complete Pickelhaube M-10 Tank Destroyer Kit.

This is my second Pickelhaub kit. I do not consider myself a modeler, but I've learned a lot working on this and the 222 kit http://forums.fighting118th.com/showthread.php?t=1563.

I had to grind out the inner frame hatches, with my dremel, in order to get them to close completely. I wish I would have done this prepaint, because it gave the M-10 one hell of a dusting, and took me over an hour to clean-up without ruining the decals or paint. The gun breach, was pretty difficult to clean-up. I had a hard time getting the bondo in that tight space, and sanding it down. So, I'm a little disapointed in how that turned out. If I do another, I'll hollow it out with the dremel, and have the gunner pushing a round in.

Overall I love the way it turned out, and it is the new jem of my 1:18 collection. Let me know what you think.

M-10 Tank Destroyer








Here it is with that lived in look WWII armor always had.

Cowboy Wolverine came out really well.

The salt weathering on the Kubel came out very well too.

Here is my first Fully articulated 1:18 Roman Legionnaire. I was going more for the English theatre, hence the long sleeves and trousers. I used BBI Roman and Prince of Persia figures for base fodder. I will be making some barbarians for him to fight soon. Let me know what you think.

Roman Legionnaire

Wow, he looks better than the Ages of Action one, awesome work and i can't wait to see your barbarians for him to fight.

Holy (Bleep!)! That Roman is the most impressive one I have ever seen. It is perfect as a later period Legionary. Beautiful.

I haven't caught up on this monster of a thread in a long time, but damn, Page 14 is one of the best pages of customs of seen in forever. The winter tank dio is awesome. The Roman is awesome. The truck is sweet. Must know more about those horses! The tank crew in the M-10 look so lifelike. I could go on and on.

EDIT: Oh, and can you describe salt weathering for me? It's not something I've heard of.

Space Ranger

That works very well for a LBC, cool use of the Star Wars weapons and great action shot of him kicking some Skrull butt.
