eventually an Abrams tusk, the tamiya one mate. I'm seriously impressed with VMS at the moment as even with postage to the UK it's good value.

Boots why don't you and Chris do a duel ? You could scratch the trailer part for your Pioneer Scammel . I'll go to bed now before I get into trouble .

Nice ones Alex !! what's that Valkyrie division ?! Vampires Alien ?? Valkyrie Division is a what-if 1947 female unit of the German Army. Think a wartime Girls Und Panzer, but in actual wartime situations as opposed to being teenage schoolgirls tank competition teams. The Vampire Aliens is a what-if earth was invaded during WW2 scenario. The aliens are vampires and Earth is one of their farm worlds. Alot of my stuff for 2018 will be what-if and some will be a bit dark in nature. For example, I hope to do some realistic post-apocalyptic stuff based on zombies or Hello Kitty. I really haven't decided yet...ever see the movie Priest? I'm looking at something along the vamp-beasties in that movie....I've been wanting to try some figure scuplting, I figure these could be a good candidate to try. No blood or gore...it's more about story-telling and setting atmosphere than outright graphic violence.

<abbr>Thanks Jeff. I've a few bits coming in for Christmas that should find their way into some of the aforementioned projects.
I'm looking forward to 2018 as far as builds go. I'm getting back to the what-if-ication side of things. Gonna try a fair share of new techniques and just see what plays out.
Success or failure...it should be glorious. </abbr>

Paul, I didn't even think about the Tamiya kit.
John, that SAM-6 builds up pretty nice. The missiles and launcher are the weakest bit of the kit. SP Designs makes a replacement set.

@ alexb Good to know that. I'll try to get those missiles. @paul Mhh.. I'd like to say very soon.. but from this lot, maybe the T-54 will get a chance to see the bench next year. I don't know. Feeling tempted to work on the T-10's, T-44 and T-54's. Let's see how that goes ..
