Hey guys my names Dan and im new here.
Here are some Pics of my recently finished model of Academy's M50A1 Ontos. What do people think?

Welcome Dan.

It looks good "from a distance"!

If possible, could you post larger photos? I really like the Onots & would lover ot see your model better.

Paul

Welcome Dan !

I'm working in a Ontos to. I like the vehicle and the kit.

Please, post larger pics.

Cheers !

Marco

Thanks very much Paul and Marco! Ok im not quite sure what im doing yet, you can see them in my gallery or should i put one pic per post to make them bigger or something?

Dan, try this:

Go to your album in Armorama, Photobucket etc. and open the picture you want to show

Right click over the image and click in "Properties";

In the window you will see the URL of the image, select and copy (ctrl c).

Back to your post and paste the URL between the image comands.

Repeat for each photo.

I hope this can help you (sorry about my english)

Cheers !

Marco

Thanks for the help Marco! No problem your English is most likely much better than mine most days!
Lets try again!








Just thought id better point out: i took a little artistic license with the colour of the shells, they should be total olive drab type colour.
I also used
Lionmarc aluminium gun barrels
Verlinden ontos interior set
Verlinden ontos ammo set
Verlinden ontos stowage set

As an old tanker, I would say the shell colors are actually reasonably accurate

BTW, your Ontos looks great and I like the empty ammo crates. Is this 1/35th scale?

Now we can see it, nice job!

hi that is a cool build,i have two of those kits to build
one in 135 and one in 132 your build is great and the dio is as well
thanks for shareing.

Thanks massively Jim, Paul and Roy! Oops and yep forgot to mention it is in 1/35 scale.

The ammo crates were painted while attempting the technique demonstrated by the guys at Scale Model Addict (YouTube) which seemed to come up very well for a first attempt!

Thanks about the ammo too Jim, its just every pic iv seen of them they were plain and green but that seemed a bit boring! Just curious what sort of tank did you serve in?

Hi Dan !

Now I can see too.

Very, very good !

Now i have a fantastic reference to do my Ontos (no interior, but...).

Cheers !

Marco

Dan: Nice work on the Ontos. Thanks for sharing. I've bookmarked your build for inspiration when I get around to building mine.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Thanks so much Marco and Zon! Its great to have such nice feedback for my first post so thanks everyone!C[ ]

Im no expert on the Ontos but have the Squadron Detail in Action book and may be able to help with problems if anyone needs it.

Best Regards
Dan

Love it Dan as it's a great first step here and oh, welcome aboard too!

The Ontos is a very interesting AFV and I love your mini dio as it looks alright with me all around!
