Late War Lend Lease IE KR-11 and Early War 10.5 cm Gun

Post by PainlessWolf »

I had time to clean up the Tank Area today and (literally) shovel together a crude gun emplacement to show off the 10.5 CM Field Artillery under tow by a Lend Lease International Harvester KR -11 heavy hauler. Pics are here for this initial thread and a video was done and is under construction ( mainly to hide the harsh language used when I drove off the graded road into soft sand and dirt and got the rig stuck...repeatedly ;o) and I will add the link here when it is done. Enjoy!

Very cool to see it outdoors in a natural setting. From the amount of vehicles I see, it looks like you might need to have a separate shelf for each country!

Sass!
Thank you for making the whole deal possible with the MPM Artillery piece. *chuckles* I hear you. The Jagdpanther was the last new one til' I get some of the back log cleared. The Stuart is up for some work as well as the next one I'm starting on. I was thinking the Halftracks next but I just finished with a truck build so either the Jagdpanther along with the Panther redo or a DAK PzKw IV or a redo of the Porsche King Tiger. Those were the ones which jumped out at me first. Plenty to do so whichever way I go will be fun. :o)
regards and stay safe,
Painless

Carl!
Thank you! You would have laughed. I was out there this morning laying out the rocks and wood pieces for the fire position while putting together a temp dead tree out of small branches and twigs. ;o) Thanks for looking in.
regards,
Painless

P.S. Be Safe.

Gentlemen!
Thank you! The video is in production and I've decided to add a minute or two of Bloopers since the successful drive did not take that much time ( even at a scale speed ) Thank you both for looking in. Making the truck into a detailed RC vehicle out of a ( albeit nice ) Toy vehicle was a challenge as was the Resin gun kit. Both were so worth it tho'. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Good Morning, PL,
I have passed on the Video footage to the Mate who noted that "they will work on it tonight" I'm still sitting here this morning wondering which direction and vehicle to tackle next.
regards,
Painless
