Hello everyone

Just wanted to say hello. Iv'e recently dove down the rabbit hole of 1/35 armor. This year I have completed more 1/35 scale kits than in the last 20 years. This forum and site have been a great help.

A little about me. I'm an electrician that spent 12 years in the US Navy(7 active 5 as a reservist). Spent time on the Nimitz and Kitty Hawk Weapons departments. Worked on the SH-60B, SH-60F HH-60H, and briefly on the MH-60S

Attached are a couple of the build recently completed. Sorry for the quality, I used my cell phone.

Tamiya's M3 CFV. I built this OOB to focus on using acrylic paints and Vallejo washes and pigments.

The two Gun Trucks were fun builds
the green one was a rebuild with only DEF wheels and LiveResin weapons used
The tan one was a build that used several aftermarket kits and scratch built gun box and cab.

Thanks

Hi Jose,

Welcome aboard, and nice builds, are you going to put them into dioramas?

Cheers,

Thank You,
yes, the plan is to put all my modern gun trucks on a dio together. Right now I have a few small bases I put together just to work with ground materials. I was never a dio guy, but with armor the model just begs for a nice display base.
