My modern fleet

Post by Meter rat »

Thought today I would capture some pictures of the modern tanks, and put them all together.
The Challenger is constantly being worked on.

I have proper plans for the Leopard. It just requires financial permission from the wife.

Very nice collection RAT. Lots of details. I like that.
I also noticed boxes of MREs on the Abrams. They look very similar to my production. Do you remember where you bought them?

Eye watering. Which is why I am waiting until we sell the house in Derbyshire.

Huh. I haven't been here for so long. I must have forgotten 🤣
This makes it even more pleasing to my eye. Once again. beautiful job. If only I had the time and skills - my son's models would look like yours 😀

But I'm currently printing my first self-designed 3D element. It's going to be a lot of fun 😀

There is some remarkable work in those MBTs, Ian, remarkable and enviable. Then, too, I get a kick out of all the stowage piled on the Abrams. North Americans were infamous in WWII for hauling around all kinds of stuff, and apparently the tradition continues.
