I stumbled on this on, of all things, the RAOC Staff Clerks’ Faceache site; if anyone actually needs inspiration to model a Leopard or Chieftain, or Abrams even, this’ll probably do the trick.
Panzers thrashing across the German countryside - what’s not to like?
Great video!
Had no idea that, while Brittain still had an army, they still used the turtle shells to protect their grey mass.
Yup; the Mark IV helmet was still in vogue back then!

Outstanding video Brian ! ( aside from the cheesy music lol) , tons of diorama ideas.
I know Richard, I’m torn between a Leopard or a Chieftain, or perhaps the Abrams (the Panda one is started in my shelf of doom). Or even a figure vignette showing some soldiers digging/dug in. Jeez, plenty of inspiration but the time, the time…!
I have all three tanks but not the older Leopard; they’ll have to wait in line unfortunately.
Do it Brian, dive right in !
I built one while stationed in Germany sometime between 85’ and 87’, painted it with a brush and then left it behind when I rotated back to the states. Probably ended up in the garbage lol.
Richard, I’ve got enough on at the moment, though I could easily be tempted after that video!
I have my Land Rover/Trailer combo to complete, or rather the base and figures; I must then address a Belgian Army Minerva as we’re exhibiting at Belgium later this year, and we always try and make a model of something Belgian as a sort of homage to our hosts; I should really get it out of the way. Perhaps then I could be tempted by a Leopard.
Yes I hear ya, I’ve been clearing out old projects as well. What a great feeling when one can finish a model that’s been sitting around forever and can move onto something new.
My next project will be the Suez diorama. I started it a few years ago with the Egyptian SU-100, I have the British 3 Para jeep in the painting phase. Then it’s on to the figures and building and ground work etc…..
I remember you mentioned it; didn’t we discuss '44 Pat Webbing? Pics would be good - even if in “progress” - always a suspect word, or at least for my modelling velocity(!)
Yes we did- I plan on trying to modify the back packs to get them to look close at least to the ‘44 pattern. The canteens will be modified also, how hard can it be with just a little putty?
Nice job, Charmin.
Won’t it be great to teach me as I love these tanks and I always a staunch supporter of democracy and real and true freedom .
Hey 18 bravo what’s your fav tank and model
IDF Sho’t. 1967. Hands down.
