Good morning to all of you. As already anticipated in some photos on another topic, Stefano aka Gulliver's factory is developing and printing a new tank. While we are testing the Matilda, Stefano has delivered to me the first pieces of the Semovente 105/25, the so-called "Bassotto." The gun for now is a dummy but will soon be replaced with a 2-axis system and recoil. The leaf spring shock system you see in these early photos will not be the final one. This is because this provisional system is a "working" prototype but expensive and difficult to make. The vehicle still lacks details but it was to preview the project. I hope you will enjoy it.

You get to try and show us the most interesting AFVs. I wish I had all the time and money in the world to build every one.

Deep L translate says: Intenta mostrarnos los AFV más interesantes. Ojalá tuviera todo el tiempo y el dinero del mundo para construir cada uno de ellos.

Terremoto = Earthquake: what a grand name for a tank!

Yeah! This tank was in the force of the "Leoncello" armored group during the period of the Italian Social Republic. Despite its battle name, it was never used in any wartime action

I have almost finished the work. Warning. This is not the final design! This project that will be presented at the fair in Verona is a prototype. After that, missing details will be added to the final design and some inaccuracies corrected. But it was also a test for me if I was able to use True-Earth airbrush colors.
