Hi, Cliff. Welcome aboard from Detroit. Where are you located? What tanks are you playing with? Scale? I'm into 1/16 and 1/6 mainly, with the occasional foray into 1/72. What kind of military stuff were you playing with? I was mostly into aircraft, WWII, fighters in the larger scales, like 1/32 and 1/24. I also played about a bit with armor, both 1/35 and 1/48. Then I discovered tanks and got hooked, and about a year ago I bought a 3D printer so now I'm also playing with military trucks, too. As I write this the printer is making me some wheel rims for my WC64 ambulance, and I've also got a WC51 weapons carrier and a CCKW deuce and a half in the works. The dream is to someday build an entire tank supported meillerwagen convoy with a V2 rocket that actually launches. Hey, if you're gonna dream, dream big, eh?

Pictures of your stuff are always welcome, as well as video. Especially video! 8)

Here's just a couple photos of some of mine, so now show me yours? :haha:

The markings on the Hetzer were just temporary, just getting an amusing shot for a Buddy. And yes, that Hetzer shoots .50 caliber paintballs!! Woo Hoo! :wtf: :crazy:

And one from the aircraft days?

And the start of the ambulance.

There are a lot of great guys here that will be happy to advise all ya need, when the time comes. 8) :wave:
