Colorado gets lots of snow right? (Boy I wish I had some(Wanted to try some snow driving!))

Anyways, how about a Battle of the Bulge Sherman? Or maybe a Dozer?

Or you can combine artillery and trucks/tanks and make a Flakbus or something like an SU-76?

The gun looks as if it is set in the perfect armour outpost, Painless. At the same time, the eye-catching indoor emporium has a certain HQ allure :D :thumbup:

I agree the office is like a command center of sorts and I envy the landscape he is so blessed to have such a playscape reminiscent of North Africa or some outpost in eastern Europe :wave:
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Good evening all,
I went ahead and put up the short driving video and one short Blooper. ;o) If anything more polished comes along, I will link it too. Pershing Lover, I will probably build one of the tanks I have as Kits or RTR. I'm leaning towards the Dak Pz IV ;o) Thank you, Roy and Carl! Like Sass noted, more shelves are a future certainty.
regards,
Painless

Looks real! Something about it in motion really elevates it. What is that squeaky noise?

Pershing Lover,
I listened to it closely and it is either the gearboxes packed with the grease or the resin wheels turning on the carriage screws. ;o)

After Rad's Excellent Stencil Set came in and the KR-11 markings were refreshed, I decided to have another try at some outdoor photography and video with the Truck and Towed Gun. On the advice of a higher ranking Officer, some armored protection was added.

Great photos and those stencils really do a better job than decals. By the way, I love Colorado.

Jimster!
Thank you for looking in! The weather got dramatic right as I was wrapping up so I took a couple of landscape shots as well for the land folder. Our little Ranch is surrounded by mountains so something is always going on weather-wise. I'll have the accompanying video up as soon as the Mate digs out their editing software and can spend a few minutes on it.
regards,
Painless
